Panel Discussion: "Women on China"

Event Details

Do we need more diversity in our English speaking reporting on China? For a number of different reasons, portrayals of China in the past in foreign media have predominantly been written by men. As the number of female journalists and journalists of Asian descent increases, how does this impact the way China stories are told to the world? YCW Beijing is delighted to bring together a panel of notable speakers on this issue. The discussion will grapple with some of the challenges surrounding reporting on China, especially for an English-speaking audience and focus on how women’s perspectives shape debates both within the country and abroad.

Guest speakers include Joanna Chiu (Beijing based foreign correspondent), Cajun Zhang (Co-host of 我们 podcast) and Biyi Feng (Founder of Elephant Room).
