Paul Lashmar visits China
MA Broadcast Journalism lecturer, Paul Lashmar, spent much of August lecturing in China.
Working with Professor Ivor Gaber, Paul organised Western Journalists and China in 2008, which comprised seminars for Chinese journalists and information officers in Beijing, Guangzhou, Chongqing and Nanjing. This initiative was a joint partnership between the University of Westminster’s China Media Centre and the prestigious Tsinghua University, and funded by the British Embassy in Beijing.
The seminars were designed to prepare Chinese media professionals for the arrival of the Western media in the Beijing 2008 Olympic year. Hosted by Executive Dean of the School of Journalism and Communication at Tsinghua University, Professor Li Xiguang, the seminars were attended by many senior journalists and government information officials.
“This was a fantastic opportunity to travel across China and witness the economic explosion that is underway there,” commented Paul. “Our hosts were extremely hospitable and we were able to see many major tourist attractions along the way including The Great Wall, the Forbidden City and Yangste.”
