Despite operating in one of the most tightly controlled media environments in the world, Chinese journalists sometimes take extraordinary risks, braving the perils of job loss or imprisonment. This book addresses why this group of journalists choose to challenge their bosses and at times even the immense power of the Chinese Communist Party. It argues that news workers often brave the perils of challenging an authoritarian system not because of market concerns but because they are driven by a particular professional orientation the author calls advocacy professionalism. Ultimately these journalists matter because they challenge specific policies and are changing China.
