Based on in-depth country case studies written by academics and journalists, and some who straddle both professions, from across the region, this book explores the roles of mainstream and online media, and how they are subject to abuse by the state and vested interests. Specific country chapters provide up-to-date information on Bangladesh, Kashmir, Malaysia, Myanmar, Nepal, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Taiwan, Thailand and Vietnam, as well as on growing populist and nationalist challenges to media freedom in the Philippines, India, Indonesia and Japan. The book includes a theoretical chapter pulling together trends and common constraints facing newsrooms across Asia and a regional overview on the impact of social media. Three chapters on China provide insights into the country's tightening information environment under President Xi Jinping. Moreover, the legal environment of the media, political and external pressures, economic considerations, audience support and journalists' standards and ethics are explored. As an international and interdisciplinary study, this book will appeal to undergraduates, graduates and scholars engaged in human rights, media studies, democratization, authoritarianism and Asian Studies, as well as Asia specialists, journalists, legal scholars, historians and political scientists"-- $c Provided by publisher. 650 0 $a Freedom of the press $z Asia. 650 7 $a Freedom of the press. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00934063 651 7 $a Asia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01240495 700 1 $a Burrett, Tina, $e contributor. $e contributor. 700 1 $a Kingston, Jeff, $d 1957- $e author of introduction. $e author of introduction. 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9780429013034 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231020022200.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=EB95BCA2B05F11EA86A2D96D97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
