About the Speaker:

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.
  • Originally a theoretical physicist, his last journalism post was Head of the Political Desk of Xin Hua News Agency.

Professor Li Xiguang’s influence upon media education and viagra soft tabs review 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 viagra en el reino unido 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.

中国传媒中心年会

中国软实力

英国威斯敏斯特大学中国人民大学

伦敦威斯敏斯特大学摄政校区 2010年4月8/9日

中国经济实力的迅猛增长已悄然更新了中国的国际影响力。奥巴马的中国之行，G2格局的有效建立都印证着这样一个得到国际普遍认同的事实：今天，中国正在世界经济格局中扮演着核心角色。追溯历史，经济实力的腾飞总是伴随着国际文化影响力的提升——足球，好莱坞以及卡拉OK都是便随着大国经济腾飞而走向世界的 “舶来品”。毫无疑问，中国的经济地位将会同样影响中国文化的全球传播。

中国及世界各国都已认识到了这一趋势。中国政府推出了“走出去”的战略，旨在全球推广中国语言、传播中国文化、发展中国媒体。同时，曾满足于向西方购买节目或模仿西方节目样式的中国的广播电视界，今日也正蓄势进军国际市场，他们的角色已悄然变为卖家。

我们热诚的欢迎诸位共同关注这一动人心魄的进程。本届年会我们有幸请来：

Westminster communications research ‘world-leading’

CMC

rae2008

“Oxford may be rueing the day it decided to enter its researchers into the communication [category], the institution was beaten by… Westminster” – Times Higher Education Magazine

“A media studies department at a former polytechnic is among the top-rated academic centres in Britain in the latest official rankings of the quality of university research. Sixty per cent of the research published by the school of Media Arts and Design at Westminster University… was rated as “world-leading” by the Research Assessment Exercise”. – The Times

Communications, cultural and media studies research at the University of Westminster has been shown to be “world-leading” following the announcement today of the 2008 Research Assessment Exercise (RAE) results.

Researchers across a broad range of subjects at the University, which is a leading post-92 institution, have had their work shown to be of international quality in the latest assessment of UK university research activity. Nearly 80 per cent of Westminster’s research was found to be of a quality that is recognised internationally for its “originality, significance and rigour”.

Art and Design, Architecture and the Built Environment, Geography and levitra acheter en ligne hollande Environment Studies and Law also stood out for the international quality of the research.

Sally Feldman, dean of the University’s School of Media, Arts and Design, said: “This is a fantastic result and a reflection of the excellent scholarship, research and practice that characterises our work here at Westminster.”

The RAE, the first since 2001, highlights Westminster’s traditional strength across a broad range of research activity, said Vice-Chancellor Professor Geoffrey Petts.

“This result highlights that the University of Westminster is producing research of international quality across a broad range of subjects, with communications and media studies world-leading in their work.

“We were assessed in 20 areas of work, which is an indication of the breadth of our work as well as the quality. It is also an indication that our research is being recognised for its potential to make a real difference in the world.

“I’m delighted Westminster was found to be so strong, especially as we are one of the group of universities created in 1992 that have traditionally received less funding than longer-established, research-led universities.”

The RAE, the first since 2001, saw 159 higher education institutions submitting their research to the Higher Education Funding Council for England for assessment. Over 200,000 individual pieces of research work were submitted.
