  • Evaluation of media and understanding of politics: The role of education among Hong Kong citizens

    • Authors: Francis L. F. Lee; Joseph M. Chan; Clement Y. K. So (2005)

  • This article discusses the future of the liberal media system in Hong Kong. It examines whether the political culture in the city would support a media system that primarily understands itself as a watchdog and a critique of power holders. While local political scientists have pointed to the prominence of the idea of ‘consultative democracy’ in the city’s political culture, the present authors argue that there are in fact competing visions of democracy in the public arena. As different conceptions of democracy imply different understandings of media’s role in politics, this study analyzes a survey to examine citizens understanding of media and politics, especially with regard to the relative emphasis being put on the media as a watchdog versus the media as a platform for consultatio...

    • Authors: Byoungkwan Lee; Karen M. Lancendorfer; Ki Jung Lee (2006)

  • The purpose of this study was to explore the intermedia influence of the Internet on traditional news media.

  • The Foreignizing Gaze: Producers, Audiences, and Symbols of the ‘Traditional’

    • Authors: Gareth Barkin (2006)

  • Indonesia’s private television industry blossomed into a powerful source of national, mass culture production in the 1990’s and early 2000’s. This essay examines the ways in which producers’ subject position, in relation to global media form and narrative, is transformed, through production processes and conventions, into a distinctive ‘way of looking’. By focusing on the example of a travel program, issues related to the representation of elements classified as ‘traditional’ or ‘ethnic’ is explored. Grounded in long-term ethnographic fieldwork among the country’s TV producers, programmers and station executives, the essay puts forward the notion that the use of global forms and narratives leads to the encoding of a particular ‘gaze’ in popular programming, which positions viewers a...
