Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of Hawai'i at Manoa, 1991.

This dissertation is an investigation of the changing American images of China seen in three major newspapers--The New York Times, the Washington Post and the Christian Science Monitor--over a period of 14 years following Nixon's visit to that country in 1972. Research questions were designed to identify the changing images over time and evaluate their accuracy from a Chinese perspective.Subjects--Topical Terms:

520 $a This dissertation is an investigation of the changing American images of China seen in three major newspapers--The New York Times, the Washington Post and the Christian Science Monitor--over a period of 14 years following Nixon's visit to that country in 1972. Research questions were designed to identify the changing images over time and evaluate their accuracy from a Chinese perspective.
520 $a A total of 508 news stories were selected for analysis that were fundamentally of a descriptive nature portraying lives of ordinary Chinese people. They covered a wide range of subject matter including material and economic conditions, social morale and morality, youth and education, arts and entertainment, and other major events that had a great impact on people's lives.
520 $a Research findings showed that American reporters improved markedly their understanding of China during the period of study. The images of China during the early stage reflected an obvious signs of uncertainty, with some unrealistic views. During the short transitional period after the Gang of Four was overthrown, the news articles portrayed quite accurately the mood and anticipations of the Chinese despite insufficient historical and social contexts. In the reform period, most of the articles described each specific topic with basically realistic views. However, many lacked an adequate social context and over emphasized the positive side of the reform program. As a result, the picture as a whole became unbalanced and at times contained conflicting messages. The over-optimistic views of the reform program poorly prepared Americans for the bloody Tiananmen incident of June 1989. The tendency to focus on dramatic and easily accessible events while leaving some important social trends untouched was also characteristic of the reporting in general.
520 $a Another finding of this investigation was the gap between the images found in the three newspapers and the views of American China experts. While China experts identified Americans' perception of China in the early 70s as euphoric, the prevailing messages in the three newspapers, however, were negative.
