David Wolf, Managing Director, Global China Practice to Speak on AmCham China Panel on Non-traditional Media

February 20, 2013

Tuesday, February 26th 12:00-2:00 PM

This members-only event will examine how non-traditional media, including citizen journalism, have reported on sensitive issues in China with significant impacts on policy, enforcement and public perceptions. For example, environmental activism has led to cancellation or modification of industrial developments and raised environmental awareness, the new leadership’s anti-corruption campaign has been bolstered by whistle blowers and their followers on Chinese social networks and there's been criticism of traditional media controls.

How are the fields of traditional media and policy advocacy changing with the rise of non-traditional media? What are the limits to this type of advocacy? What further changes are expected and how might they impact foreign businesses in China?
