2011年8月1日,美国纽约时代广场2号楼高19米、宽约12米的显示屏上,出现了新华社及其下属的新华网、新华新闻电视网、中国国际文化影像公司等公司的形象片。这并不是中国首次在西方人面前塑造“中国形象”。随着中国的经济发展和国际地位的增强,中国越来越关心自己在其他国家眼中的样子。大量举办与国家形象展示及公关相关的各种会议。在研究如何对外宣传的同时,中国政府和学者也在分析西方媒体对华的态度及其原因。这些结论大多保持着相似的口径:西方媒体正在或多或少地对中国社会及中国政府进行污名化。

有人还试图对此现象进一步做出解释,从体制、经济、文化、政治等角度去分析这种让国人困惑和愤怒的现象。比起这种架空性的理论探索,我们也许可以采用更好的办法,即去聆听西方媒体人对此问题的看法,这或许也是揭开迷局的捷径。 Read more

Making bilateral relations newsworthy – China’s impossible challenge?

Written by Vivien Marsh.

vivmarsh photoThere are few phrases more likely to strike dread into a western global journalist’s heart than “bilateral relations” and “expanding ties”. They portend a news story of excruciating dullness peopled by national leaders and diplomats in suits getting on and off planes. For western hacks accustomed to finessing catchy leads and soundbites, the term “bilateral relations” is the spanner in the news machine.
