TitleResearching China's Media
Date13th June 2007
VenueUniversity of Westminster 309 Regent Street, London

The rapid economic growth of China has been accompanied by an increasing western interest in the changes taking place in Chinese society. The mass media are one of the key points of change, and research on their production, content and audiences is on the increase. Knowledge in the west is still very patchy, but there are more and more articles, books and theses analysing different aspects of the situation.

This workshop and conference will offer an opportunity for the presentation and discussion of current research into all aspects of the media in China. It is open to all researchers, whether they wish to present a paper or not. The intention is to put an emphasis on the work of younger scholars.

The day will be split into two parts. In the workshop, there will be opportunities to discuss informally with Professor Guo and scholars from other Chinese universities the problems of conducting media research and current trends in China today. In the conference section of the day, researchers will present and discuss scholarly research that they have recently finished or are currently undertaking.

The working language of the conference will be Chinese.
