China is dramatically increasing its media presence in the world. Within the next few months CCTV will establish in Europe its third Media Hub, after Africa and the USA. Xinhua has expanded its operations and includes 24 hour television news. The quality and range of publications, radio and television channels and online information has developed rapidly in several languages. Chinese media are supplying facilities and training to the media of many other countries, even as they also soak up the experience and knowledge of the most advanced media industries. Not only national media but provincial media are entering the world’s markets. Please see the attached call for papers.CMGG International Call for Papers The deadline for abstracts is 25 May 2014.
