3. MEDIA EFFECTS ON POLITICAL CONFIDENCE AND TRUST IN THE PEOPLE'S REPUBLIC OF CHINA IN THE POST-TIANANMEN PERIOD.

Abstract

Based on a nationwide survey conducted in mainland China between September 1993 and June 1994, this study explores the impact of propaganda of the Communist government on people's attitudes toward specific political institutions and toward the government in general. Our study shows that the news media in China have negative effects on people's attitudes toward political institutions in general and make people distrust government. Several competing interpretations are offered to explain the negative correlation between media exposure and political trust. Despite serious efforts, we are unable to falsify the relationship between media exposure and people's attitudes toward government. These findings clearly demonstrate that the propaganda of the regime failed in nurturing supportive sentiment among people in Chinese society in the post-Tiananmen era. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Hu Shuli is the editor of the twice-monthly (soon weekly) Caijing magazine--the name means finance and business. As the news flow has increased, so has the freedom of Chinese journalists to report it. Gradual deregulation of the media has allowed several feisty, relatively independent publications to spring up. Caijing is the best-known. Caijing combines investigative reporting with the sort of critical commentary that a decade ago would have landed its journalists in jail. The magazine has a circulation of 80,000 and 40 journalists crowded into a dingy office in Beijing, China. But Hu has the country's biggest editorial budget per journalist. In 1991, Hu wrote the first book in Chinese on the principles of American journalism. This, and powerful friends (she counts Wu Jinglian, China's top economist, among her mentors), have honed Hu's instincts when it comes to assessing whether Caijing's latest scoop will push the authorities too far.
