What Experts Say 1

China is known as a country where media is restricted by the government (Beina & Eleanor, Feb 17, 2017). There is an interesting study about this country, call “Media Bias in China”. The paper is 36 pages long, mainly focus on a statistical analysis of biased content. The purpose of the study is to find out media control by media. The paper analyzes the reason for media bias from the social structure and shows biased content. For example, it analyses the relationship between deleted internet post and it’s content and others. Also, it compared the difference in content among different religions and local government regulations. However, the paper is used academy specific acronym often, and require some understanding of inferential statistics for some parts. Anyway, It could be a very useful resource to deepen understanding about media bias caused by government restriction. China might be an extreme case of most people, however, the government restriction on media causing bias is not totally ignorable for all. This knowledge in china might be useful to apply in another place as well.
