LI XIGUANG

Distinguished academic, leading journalist and radical thinker

• Prominent media scholar in China, first Dean of Media at Tsinghua (‘China’s Cambridge’) and Dean of the International Media Institute of Xinan University of Policy & Law
• Fluent in English
• Former Research Fellow at the Joan Shorenstein Center on the Press, Politics and Public Policy at the Kennedy School of Government of Harvard University and Visiting Fellow and Science Writer on the Washington Post.

Professor Li Xiguang’s influence upon media education and kamagra online utan recept media handling in China has already been considerable, and over time is likely to be profound, as is his influence on the academic study of the media.

In China the media and journalism have been taken seriously as academic subjects since the 1920s and today the connections between media departments, media professionals and the political leadership are usually close. Tsinghua’s is in a pivotal position.

Professor Li burst onto a conservative scene with radical vim. He has pioneered the re-formation of media handlers throughout the establishment, so that they understand the value of journalism in promoting good government and civil society; he brought sensitive topics such as Aids, homosexuality and commercial influences on journalism into the public domain, insisting that journalists be able to research and write on these subjects. He has introduced the notion that journalists must be aware of human rights and spread the idea tirelessly. He has worked with international news organizations such as Bloomberg, Ogilvy and prix cenforce 100mg Reuters to improve knowledge and skills.

The (Tsinghua) Center for International Communications Studies (CCIS) of which Prof Li is the Director, is a high-level research centre that plays a prominent role in producing information about the Chinese media.  He is a senior professor in what has very rapidly become one of the leading Universities in this field in China.  Tsinghua is one of six universities permitted to run a doctoral programme in media, and one of only three officially recognised as having a National Key Discipline in Journalism and Communication Studies.
