onthemedia@wnyc.org (WNYC, New York Public Radio) — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 23:12:08 -0500

How the world sees China, and how China thinks it is seen by the world may make all the difference as time marches on. The West cannot afford to hold on to kung fu, Confucius, and chopsticks as our big ideas about China. Modern art, fashion, and the young urban elite have a new story to tell; if anyone’s listening. Plus, Brooke talks with the author of “Wolf Totem,” a best-selling novel and Chinese conversation piece about resisting and revering Mongolian wolves during the Cultural Revolution.

onthemedia@wnyc.org (WNYC, New York Public Radio) — Fri, 02 Jan 2009 23:12:08 -0500

There is real investigative reporting in China, it’s just not done under a free press flag. Instead, practitioners mind an unstated set of rules, keeping themselves safe by employing tactics like using excessive jargon and exploiting government rivalries. It's an evolving dance requiring ingenuity, subtlety, courage and a willingness to be fired every day. Plus, a conversation with the former host of ‘At Night You’re Not Lonely,’ a call-in radio show that dispenses hard-won wisdom to the factory girls of Shenzhen, a city in flux.

Last summer, as the Olympics approached, China was making the final preparations for the PR push of the century, pitching brand China to the world. Meanwhile, young urban Chinese were sorting out new identities and advertisers everywhere were revving their engines, preparing to sell to the fastest growing consumer market in the world. OTM visited China last spring and returned with these stories which originally aired in June.

On the Media in China was made possible by a generous grant from the Freeman Foundation.

Thu, 01 Jan 2009 10:20:18 -0500

Israel is a country where history is never really past, and where politics leeches into all quarters of society. No historian is merely an academic or a chronicler of the times. What he or she writes, in some cases, becomes the starting point of painful and contentious self-examiniation. In this podcast you will hear from a controvesial Israel professor and an author and intellectual counterpart to our first guest.

Wed, 31 Dec 2008 02:12:26 -0500

It's been a year to remember, even if a lot of people would rather forget it ... elections and rumours of elections ... a tenuous coalition and an empty house of commons ... far-off wars and fears of financial Armageddon at home. There's still a couple of days left in it, but 2008 is marching into the history books, and so it's time for a post-mortem on a year that kept political watchers busy. In today's podcsat, you'll be hearing the thoughts of those on our year-end political panel for 2008.

If no children were harmed in the making, is it still kiddie porn? Cartoon defender Charles Brownstein says it's a danger to artistic freedom to criminalize lines on paper, but child-safety advocate Mary Leary says allowing explicit drawings of children presents a threat to the safety of real-life kids.

In just the last two years over 6,800 people have been killed. 24 journalists have been murdered and 7 have vanished. This isn’t Iraq, but Mexico’s war on drugs - and the scale and severity of the violence is escalating.

Does very severe PMS constitute a mental disorder? That's one of many questions facing psychiatrists as they work to revise the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders or DSM, the definitive compendium of our psychic maladies. Because the DSM influences not just doctors and patients but medical research, insurance companies, the pharmaceutical industry, advertising and the culture at large, controversy surrounding its new edition abounds. Brooke looks at this powerful book.

For Stephen Hwang, the term "help the homeless" has taken on deep meaning. The son of Chinese immigrants, he was born in the U.S. and studied medicine at the country's finest schools. He faced a bright career in research there. But he turned his back on that, and chose instead to move to Canada, and dedicate his work to studying and helping the homeless. We hear his story in today's podcast.
