Mass Communication and National Development in China: Media Roles Reconsidered

.
Journal of Communication, 44 (3 (summer)): 22--37 (1994)

Abstract

Uses secondary data to examine the development of mass media in China in the past four decades. TV has become the most rapidly developing medium, while film & wired broadcasting (loudspeakers) have declined. The growth of print media seems to be leveling off, although the number of titles was on the rise in the late 1980s. Growth in the number of radio receivers also slowed down in the late 1980s. It is suggested that the rapid growth of TV at a time when China is experiencing its fastest economic growth may well indicate a mutually reinforcing relationship because TV & entertainment help build consensus & maintain social stability. 2 Tables, 40 References. Adapted from the source document.
