Analysis on the Social Interactions among Foreign Correspondents in China: A Transnational Social Space Perspective
How do journalists reconstruct their social networking to facilitate news-gathering process when they are sent to foreign countries that are far away from their home turf where they have woven their social relationships? By introducing the concept of transnational social space, this paper explores different spaces in which foreign correspondents in China carried out their social interactions and discovers that place still has a strong influence in terms of shaping their transnational practices. Also, occupation based social network has cut across the boundary between work and leisure and expands its reach to daily interaction.
