The China Media Centre was launched in 2005 by Jeremy Paxman, Presenter of BBC’s Newsnight and Sun Yusheng, Vice-President of China Central Television (CCTV).
The China Media Centre (CMC) exists to understand the world’s largest media system and to connect the creative industries personnel of the UK and China.
CMC has introduced many British professionals to Chinese equivalents and also welcomed students and viagra canada visiting researchers from leading Chinese cultural and creative organisations.
Funded initially by a grant from the Quintin Hogg Foundation, the China Media Centre has provided for itself since 2007 by winning consultancy contracts from the British, Danish, Chinese and Swedish governments plus sponsorship from British companies and from Chinese creative organisations for specific activities.
Through such activities we have made connections with Chinese institutions and individuals, which make research possible and allow us to learn about China, while earning our keep.
China Media Centre activities have also funded scholarships, fee-waivers, conferences, seminars and research visits, as well as day-to-day administration so that today it is able to connect the Chinese and European media in three ways:
- Scholarship: research including team projects and order cialis 360 pills individual publications, as well as a regular series of seminars, workshops, annual conferences, debates and innovative curricular development, both independently and in collaboration with practitioners around the world.
- Dialogue: a forum in the UK, promoting discussion on the different media systems and creative industries.
- Professional development: through its China Professional Leadership Programme, China Media Centre is the focus for Chinese visiting scholars, practitioners and students who are working, or will work in their country’s creative industries and for whom their first experience of abroad is London and the China Media Centre.
“I have worked with the China Media Centre over a number of years – both here in the UK and in China.
