China offers a rich context for examining the cultures and politics of media and communication.

This course explores contemporary Chinese media and communication from a cultural, political and sociological perspective, paying attention to the contested and evolving developments in new digital forms and formats. This course will enable you to engage critically with a wide range of media and communication practices in China and gain advanced knowledge of Chinese media and of its communication ecosystem from governance/policy and production to circulation and consumption.
