Description
Few studies have fully examined Asian values in journalism and the related debate in terms of their contexts, evolution, features, limitations, contributions, and implications. Little research has comprehensively looked into the components and origins of Asian values in journalism although their existence has been sporadically investigated. Consequently, the topic has been much mystified. Placed in the theoretical framework of ideological domination and control, the book is designed to demystify the topic by addressing nine questions regarding the above-mentioned areas through documentary research and historical-comparative analysis. It was discovered that Asian values in journalism reflected efforts to construct Asian press models and were also used to chart directions and dimensions for the press development in Asia, although the values were conceptually elusive and theoretically confusing. Another finding was that the Asian values in journalism are not purely Asian but do share journalistic traditions.
One major finding is that the Asian values in journalism debate is an extension of the ongoing battle between Asia and the West for ideological dominance and control in journalism. Instead of sporadic and unsystematic studies, the author proposes an integrated approach in the search for Asian values of journalism and the construction of Asian press models.
