Physical Description	1 online resource (xxii, 334 pages) : digital, PDF file(s).
Series	Communication, society and politics
Notes	Title from publisher's bibliographic system (viewed on 05 Oct 2015).
Contents	Propaganda for sale -- Instruments of regime stability and change -- Types of newspapers in China -- Boundaries for news reporting on labor law and the United States -- Selection and tone of news stories -- Discursive space in Chinese media -- Media credibility and media branding -- Newspaper consumption -- Media effects on public opinion -- Media citizenship in China -- China and other authoritarian states -- Responsive authoritarianism in Chinese media.
Summary	In most liberal democracies commercialized media is taken for granted, but in many authoritarian regimes the introduction of market forces in the media represents a radical break from the past with uncertain political and social implications. In Media Commercialization and Authoritarian Rule in China, Daniela Stockmann argues that the consequences of media marketization depend on the institutional design of the state. In one-party regimes such as China, market-based media promote regime stability rather than destabilizing authoritarianism or bringing about democracy. By analyzing the Chinese media, Stockmann ties trends of market liberalism in China to other authoritarian regimes in the Middle East, North Africa, sub-Saharan Africa and the post-Soviet region. Drawing on in-depth interviews with Chinese journalists and propaganda officials as well as more than 2000 newspaper articles, experiments and public opinion data sets, this book links censorship among journalists with patterns of media consumption and the media's effects on public opinion.
