THE essential work of the media is to see the world as it is, and the media are said to be American. That is a political interpretation, nothing to do with the basic facts though.

The world's oldest newspaper is Swedish, the Post-och Inrike Tidningar, or Post and Domestic Times, published in 1645, and gone online since 2007. Followed by the Dutch daily, Opregte Haarlemsche Courant , then by the Gazzetta di Mantova in Mantua, Italy , then by the London Gazette . The list is long. The Hartford Courant, the US' first daily newspaper, did not appear until Oct. 29, 1764.But in 1977 American author Jeremy Turnstall published a book titled, The Media Are American.

In a long article of 6,032 words, two women journalists — Louisa Lim and Julia Bergin — talk about China's effort to train foreign international journalists, from Asia to Africa, to report the news from a Chinese perspective and 'to tell China's story well.' The main guideline is reported to be coming from President Xi himself on how to tell China's story well.
