The Peking Gazette in Late Imperial China

State News and Political Authority

By: Emily Mokros

In the Qing dynasty (1644–1911), China experienced far greater access to political information than suggested by the blunt measures of control and censorship employed by modern Chinese regimes. A tenuous partnership between the court and the dynamic commercial publishing enterprises of late imperial China enabled the publication of gazettes in a wide range of print and manuscript formats. For both domestic and foreign readers these official gazettes offered vital information about the Qing state and its activities, transmitting state news across a vast empire and beyond. And the most essential window onto Qing politics was the Peking Gazette, a genre that circulated globally over the course of the dynasty. This illuminating study presents a comprehensive history of the Peking Gazette and frames it as the cornerstone of a Qing information policy that, paradoxically, prized both transparency and secrecy. Gazettes gave readers a glimpse into the state’s inner workings but also served as a carefully curated form of public relations. Historian Emily Mokros draws from international archives to reconstruct who read the gazette and how they used it to guide their interactions with the Chinese state. Her research into the Peking Gazette’s evolution over more than two centuries is essential reading for anyone interested in understanding the relationship between media, information, and state power.

The Currency of Truth

Newsmaking and the Late-Socialist Imaginaries of China's Digital Era

By: Emily H. C. Chua

China’s news sector is a place where newsmakers, advertising executives, company bosses, and Party officials engage one another in contingent and evolving arrangements that run from cooperation and collaboration to manipulation and betrayal. Drawing on long-term ethnographic fieldwork with journalists, editors, and executives at a newspaper in Guangzhou, The Currency of Truth brings its readers into the lives of the people who write, publish, and profit from news in this milieu. The book shows that far from working as mere cogs in a Party propaganda machine, these individuals are immersed in fluidly shifting networks of formal and informal relationships, which they carefully navigate to pursue diverse goals. In The Currency of Truth, Emily H. C. Chua argues that news in China works less as a medium of mass communication than as a kind of currency as industry players make and use news articles to create agreements, build connections, and protect and advance their positions against one another. Looking at the ethical and professional principles that well-intentioned and civically minded journalists strive to uphold, and the challenges and doubts that they grapple with in the process, Chua brings her findings into conversation around “post-truth” news and the “crisis” of professional journalism in the West. The book encourages readers to rethink contemporary news, arguing that rather than setting out from the assumption that news works either to inform or deceive its publics, we should explore the “post-public” social and political imaginaries emerging among today’s newsmakers and remaking the terms of their practice.

By: Jessa Hastings,Odile Carton,Emily Lawless

Magnolia et BJ vous déchireront le coeur et l'âme comme personne d'autre ! Il y a toutes sortes d'amours dans ce monde. Mais il y en a un que vous feignez de ne pas ressentir, même si c'est bien le cas, même si vous le savez, même s'il occupe vos pensées dès le matin - parce qu'aimer quelqu'un ainsi est douloureux. Et si le temps vous a enseigné quelque chose, c'est que cela n'a aucune importance. Vous l'aimerez, en dépit de tout, jusqu'à la fin de vos jours. Elle est belle, riche, égocentrique, légèrement névrosée et appartient aux hautes sphères de la société londonienne. Il est le bad boy dont tous les paparazzi de Grande-Bretagne s'arrachent la photo, et il lui a brisé le coeur. Pourtant, Magnolia Parks et BJ Ballentine sont faits l'un pour l'autre, tout le monde le sait. Elle sort avec d'autres personnes pour le tenir à distance ; il couche avec d'autres filles pour se venger. Malgré leurs vaines tentatives pour tourner la page, ils finissent toujours dans les bras l'un de l'autre. Mais ce cercle vicieux laisse des traces indélébiles sur leur existence... Alors que des secrets commencent à refaire surface, Magnolia et BJ doivent confronter la question fatidique qu'ils ont évitée toute leur vie : combien d'amours a-t-on dans une seule vie ? Le phénomène TikTok qui ravira tous les fans de Gossip Girl.
