The Image Of China In The U.S. News Magazines: An Analysis

I wish to convey my deepest gratitude to Professor Pan Zhigao, my supervisor, for his unfailing support, invaluable help and much guidance over the past years. It is in his courses that I find mass media so interesting and worth pursuing. His support and encouragement strengthened my determination to carry out the study. His valuable suggestions for the thesis have benefited me so much. His influence is obvious throughout this thesis. I am also deeply obliged to Professor Zhong Zhangsheng, associate Professor Li Zhidong, associate Professor Wang Yulan, associate Professor Jiang Xinxue, associate Professor Ye Fanmei. Their courses have guided me through the two and half years of graduate study. Special thanks go to my classmates whose suggestions and encouragements during my writing of the thesis are heartily appreciated.
