This week’s Sinica podcast<\/a>, hosted by Kaiser Kuo, features the Guardian’s Tania Branigan, Danwei’s Jeremy Goldkorn, and entrepreneur Bill Bishop talking about foreign media coverage of China:<\/p>\n

What are the frames and narratives that inform the Anglophone media’s understanding of the county, and what are the misunderstandings about the “Western media” that lead Chinese people into believing Western reporting is more biased than it is?<\/p>\n

This week, Tania Branigan from the Guardian, Jeremy Goldkorn from Danwei and serial China entrepreneur Bill Bishop join host Kaiser Kuo in a discussion of this perennial topic. And lest you mistakenly believe that it’s only the Western media writing critical stories on China, we discuss the state of investigative reporting in China, focusing on a recent piece by Tania in The Guardian about China’s best-known investigative journalist, Wang Keqin<\/a>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
