On 1 December 2020 Professor de Burgh delivered public lecture China through its Media for Gresham College.
China’s media provide a window into the Chinese mind, as the country asserts itself in the world as a great power. What do Chinese people think is the purpose of life? What matters most to them? In what do they believe? How do officials and journalists explain their responsibilities?

]]> What does China’s media tell us about the fastest growing economy in the world? Investigative journalism is developing in print and broadcast, but how questioning is it allowed to be? How do news agencies operate? Now that commercial television has arrived, what kind of advertisements are acceptable? And how is the government dealing with the challenge of open access on the internet?
These are just a few of the issues being explored in the pioneering China Media Centre based at the University of Westminster’s School of Media, Arts and Design, highly regarded both for its teaching and its scholarly research in media and communications.

Leading the centre will be Professors Hugo de Burgh, Colin Sparks and Professor Harriet Evans, all of whom have long established expertise in Chinese media and culture.  The centre, which already has a number of doctoral students from mainland China, has just been awarded substantial funding by the University to build upon its excellent links with Chinese universities and media institutions, with new courses, academic exchanges and research essaywritingplace.com projects.

The Centre will be launched later this year with a series of conferences designed to offer its expertise to government, businesses and NGOs keen to build links with China and to gain more understanding of its culture and ethos through the agency of its media.
