CMC

Hello everyone, my name Tracy, Qian Yazhuo. I spent a year in London on the Global Media programme and took the CMC’s module China’s Media in the Emerging World Order; it was a memorable year; I focused on the interaction between media and political economy and the development process of global media communication. And I also met my husband.

This one year gave me the ability to collect information independently, to explore the truth of the problemwhile studying academically. In the process of analysing the academic problem, I learned how to find reasons and come up with solutions.  It also equipped me with understanding of what is news, what is a journalist, and at the same time it strengthened my future career ambition.

ALUMNI STORIES – Part 7: Qin Yanyan 秦彦琰 Investigative Reporter of Shandong TV 山东电视台

CMC

I started my MA study at the University of Westminster in the Autumn 2018. In May 2019, I received two internship offers from both Phoenix Satellite Television and China Media Centre. After pondering on my two choices over and over again, I decided to accept the offer from China Media Centre because I believe that I could learn more about the cutting-edge ideas from the global media experts in CMC’s training programmes.

Having graduated from the Global Media master programme at the University of Westminster in November 2019, I returned to China. Due to the COVID-19 outbreak in early 2020, very few media organizations are recruiting. In April, I received a recruitment invitation from Shandong TV’s news centre and viagra for sale uk it turned out that the delegates I met in London were interviewing me for the job. I passed the test and was hired as an investigative reporter in one of their famous programmes, Wen Zheng Shandong 问政山东, meaning Face to Face with Shandong Policy-makers, a multi-media platform investigative news programme, which enjoys great popularity in Shandong, one of the biggest provinces in China home to 90 million people.  Every day, not only do I have to do investigation and interviews for Face to Face on screen but also attend live Broadcasting in “Lightning News” programme which is a successful new media app designed by Shandong TV. I am consistently learning how to be an excellent reporter in the fast-changing integrated media industry in China.

My five months of work at the China Media Centre has become among the most precious memories of my life. I am grateful to CMC staff for their help and advice. They have taught me to be independent, confident, hardworking and professional. My work at CMC in London leads me to meet my current boss at Shandong TV and all the skills I learned in London are now of great help with my new job as a News Reporter.

ALUMNI STORIES – Part 6: Li Jingyi Interaction Designer of NetEase Game 网易游戏

I had one of the most wonderful summers in London as an exchange student at the University of Westminster. It has been four years since I attended the summer school, and currently, I’m studying in a double-degree master program taught by Royal College of Art and Imperial College London. The summer school experience was a splendid combination of cultural immersion and multidisciplinary collaboration in the context of new media and the creative industry. 

I still remember how exciting it was when we were exploring markets in London and filming our short documentaries. It was a riot of street performance, antique shops, food culture, and graffiti walls. I was amazed by the fact that London has a rich culture with so many layers to discover. This is one of the reasons why I chose to study London again years after the summer school program-to live in different water and unpack more possibilities.
