The article "Becoming global, remaining local: The discourses of international news reporting in Phoenix Television" by Yi-Chien Liu and Hsin-Huei Wang analyzes the international news reporting practices of Phoenix Television, a Chinese state-owned television network. The authors examine how Phoenix Television navigates between its domestic agenda and global audience through its monologic storytelling structure. They identify three main types of discourse used by Phoenix Television: the "China story," which focuses on China's rise as a global power; the "Asia story," which highlights Asia's growing importance in global affairs; and the "local story," which emphasizes the network's commitment to local issues and concerns. The authors also note that Phoenix Television often employs a hybridized discourse that combines elements of both Chinese and English languages, reflecting the network's desire to navigate between its domestic and global audiences.The article concludes that Phoenix Television's international news reporting practices represent a complex interplay between globalization and localization, highlighting the challenges faced by Chinese media organizations in navigating the increasingly complex and interconnected world of global communications. The authors argue that an understanding of these dynamics is essential for grasping the contemporary media landscape in China and beyond.References:Bell, A. (1991). The language of news media.
