Conservative popular journalism, public diplomacy, and the search for an alternative Chinese modernity: Revisiting the global times Huang, C 2016, 'Conservative popular journalism, public diplomacy, and the search for an alternative Chinese modernity: Revisiting the global times' in Jia Gao, Catherine Ingram and Pookong Kee (ed.) Global Media and Public Diplomacy in Sino-Western Relations, Routledge, United Kingdom, pp. 143-166. Document type: Book Chapter Collection: Book Chapters Title Conservative popular journalism, public diplomacy, and the search for an alternative Chinese modernity: Revisiting the global times Author(s) Huang, C Year 2016 Title of book Global Media and Public Diplomacy in Sino-Western Relations Publisher Routledge Place of publication United Kingdom Editor(s) Jia Gao, Catherine Ingram and Pookong Kee Start page 143 End page 166 Subjects International Relations Journalism Studies Studies of Asian Society Summary This book chapter investigates the influence of the Beijing-based Global Times (a conservative tabloid daily newspaper) on China's public diplomacy. It argues that the recent rise of the newspaper represents a crucial strategic change in China's public diplomacy. The case of the Global Times also illustrates that public diplomacy should not be understood narrowly as just selling government-directed, one-dimensional, positive national image to the rest of the world. It should also mean vigorous international dialogue, communication and debate between different players and from different perspectives. And public diplomacy does have a significant domestic dimension as well.
