Description

This scholarly work examines how Western Christian missionary publications fundamentally transformed Chinese newspaper practice during the late nineteenth century. The book traces the emergence of modern Chinese journalism from its roots in evangelical and educational missionary press initiatives, revealing how Western missionaries introduced novel printing technologies, editorial practices, and content styles that displaced traditional Chinese newspaper conventions. Through detailed analysis, the author demonstrates how missionary publications indirectly reshaped print journalism and disseminated key concepts of Western modernity that profoundly influenced Chinese society. Published by Routledge as part of the Media, Culture and Social Change in Asia series, this book offers essential insight into the cultural and technological exchange between East and West during a transformative period in Chinese history.
