Resumen de Historical constructions of journalistic communication in China: on three definitions of news.

Dan Huang

• This paper examines three definitions of "news" in the history of journalism studies in China. Xu Baohuang's definition emphasizes the "facts," with an aim to establish an objective and neutral press model. Lu Dingyi defines news through "reporting," which has since then transformed in to the principle of "reporting with the facts." Fan Changjiang prioritizes the "masses" in his definition, attempting to explore new ways for the operation of party-owned newspapers in the new era. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
