The East Asia Program presents: TV Journalism in a Changing China

What differences are there between television reporting and other forms of journalism in China? David Wivell has been an accredited journalist in the Beijing bureau of the Associated Press for the past eight years. A fluent Mandarin speaker who studied at Nanjing University and Beijing University, he has visited each of China's thirty-three provinces to report on cultural and economic developments, natural disasters, social unrest, politics, and science.
