About the book
"This book examines an international media event: the Hong Kong handover. In the summer of 1997, thousands of journalists converged on Southern China to record the curtain call for Western colonialism. How foreign correspondents chose to report this end-of-century event, and what they decided to ignore about it, reveals much about the ways news is framed by political and cultural assumptions.". "How did different nations' correspondents report the same strictly stage-managed event? The book takes snapshots of the handover day through the eyes of journalists from Britain, mainland China, Japan, the United States, Australia, Vietnam, Italy, and Hong Kong. The correspondents interviewed discuss the restrictions they worked under including self-censorship, the pressure for colorful stories, and the inability to pose questions to the key players."--BOOK JACKET.
