[ecrea] New special issue of WPCC: re-evaluating China’s global media expansion

*RE-EVALUATING CHINA’S GLOBAL MEDIA EXPANSION*

The journal */WESTMINSTER PAPERS IN COMMUNICATION AND CULTURE/* is 
thrilled to announce the publication of an extensive special issue on 
the topic of China's much debated 'going-out' strategy as it has 
developed. It extends the discussion about China’s international media 
expansion by focusing on the act of communicating the ‘going-out’ 
message and how it has been received by residents of Latin America, the 
USA and Africans studying in China.

Eleven contributions consider topics in television news and radio, to 
Twitter and the financial structures of Chinese internet firms alongside 
book reviews of major new publications on Chinese and global media 
politics. These articles present new data and interview material as well 
as alerting readers to some of the most useful theoretical tools to 
develop understanding of the issue’s theme. Commentaries from BBC 
journalist Vincent Ni and from Aike Li and Minsu Wu reflect respectively 
on the new approach of Shanghai’s Sixth Tone and CGTN’s new mission in 
international communication as expressed by insiders and via public 
statements.

WPCC is an open access journal and all content is available to read free
