China Ink The Changing Face of Chinese Journalism

This lively book explores individual and societal changes in contemporary China through the compelling personal accounts of young Chinese journalists. China's media are central to public life in the most populous nation on earth and have also become increasingly relevant to communication and understanding on a global scale. Through a series of engaging oral histories, Judy Polumbaum puts a human face on vital political and philosophical issues of freedom of expression and information that will shape China's future.

Judy Polumbaum is a former newspaper reporter. She is currently professor of journalism and mass communication at The University of Iowa
