内容简介
· · · · · ·
In 1872 in the treaty port of Shanghai, British merchant Ernest Major founded one of the longest-lived and most successful of modern Chinese-language newspapers, the Shenbao. His publication quickly became a leading newspaper in China and won praise as a “department store of news,” a “forum for intellectual discussion and moral challenge,” and an “independent mouthpiece of the public voice.” Located in the International Settlement of Shanghai, it was free of government regulation. Paradoxically, in a country where the government monopolized the public sphere, it became one of the world’s most independent newspapers.
As a private venture, the Shenbao was free of the ideologies that constrained missionary papers published in China during the nineteenth century. But it also lacked the subsidies that allowed these papers to survive without a large readership. As a purely commercial venture, the foreign-managed Shenbao depended on the acceptance of educated Chinese, who would write for it, read it, and buy it. This book sets out to analyze how the managers of the Shenbao made their alien product acceptable to Chinese readers and how foreign-style newspapers became alternative modes of communication acknowledged as a powerful part of the Chinese public sphere within a few years. In short, it describes how the foreign Shenbao became a “newspaper for China.”

很棒啊，为什么会没有翻译引进呢（。
前半部挺有趣的，研究现代报纸写作作为一种新文体进入中国后如何同传统文体negotiate实现本土化，第三章分析申报reprint邸报如何融合且同时改造了两种媒体应该是本书最有意思的一章了。后半部就略流于堆砌材料论证一个并不有创见的论点，关于申报如何prescribe了读者的形象（女性、上海人、民族主义者），大体落在传统／现代、中／西的张力中，且除了报纸，读者方面的反应接受并没有照顾到。
MA论文选题的启发之作，在方法论和视角上很值得好评；失之用典略琐碎，主要是主题太大= = 感同身受，毕竟我自己论文最后也发现选题太大…面对「申报」，很难抵御信息量的诱惑
作者在导论说方法论来自刘禾对等的喻说、巴赫金的复调，这也是二十年前海外汉学盛行的话语理论，如果用当下流行的媒介论，整本书的核心问题，申报如何本土化就该转换成如何再媒介化，构建怎样的混合媒介系统了。书中诸多有意思的提问，以及限于文本取材时间跨度给出的太过笼统的有问题的观点，都是可以继续补充完善的生长点。（第三章京报的流变处理得最好）（第四章对隐含女性读者的考察，利用了文学阅读接受理论，却抽离了历史现…
