Chai struggles to find her role in a male-dominated news organization, discovering corruption, courage, and hope within the people she meets while honing her talent for getting people to reveal themselves to her. In eleven propulsive and deeply felt chapters, Chai recounts her investigations into SARS quarantine wards, a childhood suicide epidemic, the human cost of industrial pollution, and organized crime, while looking back at her growth as a journalist. Chai Jing shares the philosophical and emotional complexity of the ethical challenges that are always present in such revealing reporting, while she also finds hope and purpose, time and again, in the vital and intimate stories of her interviewees. This candid memoir from one of China's best-known journalists provides a rare window into the issues which concern us most, and which face contemporary China and the whole world"-- $c Provided by publisher. 541 $d 20230825. 600 1 $a Chai, Jing, $d 1976- 650 $a Television journalists $z China $v Biography. 650 $a Television personalities $z China $v Biography. 650 1 $a Journalism $x Political aspects $z China. 650 $a Investigative reporting $z China. 651 1 $a China $x History $y 21st century. 655 7 $a Autobiographies. 941 $a 1 952 $l DBPE173 $d 20230915010105.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=31293766538D11EE852D3C9B35ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
