Through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Peking, John Howkins had personal interviews with senior officials as well as people working at all levels in the mass media and government of China. As a result, his is a firsthand practical account of activities, communications policies, and the people who run the media (he even lists the names and addresses of key people and organizations of the Chinese mass media). Howkins, who has a formidable background of practical, analytical, and research experience in all the mass media, discusses television, radio, print, film, telecommunications, satellites, and advertising. His comprehensive discussion includes the political and economic environment in which mass communication takes place ; he outlines the history, regulation, and technology of individual media; he introduces important television stations and radio stations; he discusses imports, exports, and advertising; and he gives the reader a look at the future of the mass media in China. Mass Communication in China is a lively and readable overview of the Chinese media industry for the person doing business in China, the media practitioner or researcher, the academic, or the interested general reader.
