New Blog on Chinese History and Media
************************************************************************
From: Kate Merkel-Hess

I am writing to make the H-Asia community aware of a new blog that focuses
on historically contextualizing media issues and coverage of contemporary
China. The China Beat launched last week, and features original content from
fourteen China scholars and journalists, including analysis of current
events in historical perspective, recommendations for reading and viewing,
and commentary on Western media coverage of China. You can view it at
http://thechinabeat.blogspot.com/.
