Contributions to scholarly literature come in many configurations: they may expand our base of empirical knowledge, apply innovative methodologies to explore questions in new ways, revisit what is known from new perspectives, or develop novel theoretical explanations. The aim of this book is to extend a well-known theoretical framework in media studies to a new context. Specifically, Hearns-Branaman sets out to apply the "propaganda model" developed by finance scholar Edward Herman in partnership with linguist Noam Chomsky to the workings of the news media in China today.
