A report on the development of video media in the Global South in 2023 was released in Beijing on Friday, highlighting the building of a shared community of communication in Global South media landscape.
The publication of the report was part of a Global South media exchange activity, which was co-hosted by the CCTV Video News Agency (CCTV Plus) and China International Press Communication Center (CIPCC).
Representatives from the CCTV Plus, the Israel Epstein Center for Global Media and Communication of Tsinghua University (CGMC), the Department of Press, Communication and Public Diplomacy of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of China, the CIPCC, and experts and scholars from Peking University and other universities, along with 22 media representatives from 20 countries in the Middle East and Eurasia participated in the event.
Attendees jointly discussed the current development and future trends of media cooperation and exchanges within the framework of the Global South.
Jointly compiled by the CCTV Plus and the CGMC, the report focuses on video media in the Global South, providing an analysis of its current state and identifying emerging trends through in-depth interviews and other forms. It also explores strategies for fostering a "communication community" among media entities in the Global South.
Shi Anbin, director of the CGMC, and professor at the School of Journalism and Communication at Tsinghua University, offered a comprehensive interpretation of the report.
The report upholds the principles of a community with a shared future for mankind, the Belt and Road Initiative, and the spirit of the Global Development Initiative, the Global Security Initiative, and the Global Civilization Initiative, Shi said. It focuses on the Global South and introduces the innovative concept of "establishing a community of communication."
The report evaluates the collaborative framework of "constructive journalism" in the Global South video media landscape in recent years, including content collaboration, personnel exchanges, technological connectivity, and think tank cooperation, Shi said.
However, the report acknowledges the challenges and obstacles faced in the practical process, such as insufficient funding, technological deficiencies, policy differences, and cultural barriers, Shi said.
The report offers a wide range of practical and viable recommendations for building a communication community among Global South video media, Shi said. For example, promoting content exchange and sharing to facilitate cultural interactions, collaborating on development issues to benefit the people of all countries, strengthening technical support and talent development to bridge the digital divide, and establishing consensus on communication rules to construct a harmonious and inclusive order.
Themed "Building a Communication Community," the report encapsulates the essence of a "community with a shared future for mankind" within the realm of journalism and communication, Shi said. Its objective is to unite the strengths of the Global South, facilitate exchanges and mutual learning among diverse nations and civilizations, and foster coexistence and integration.
International media representatives who participated in the report shared their views through video messages.
Prakash Babu Paudel, chairman of Ray Media Group from Nepal, said that the report highlights numerous issues and challenges faced by Global South media. He said that media outlets in the Global South should strengthen solidarity and collaboration.
Ayanda Shadrack Hollow, CEO of BRICS TV from South Africa, believes that the report not only shows the progress of Global South video media but also represents a declaration of their future vision. Global South media will expand a new pattern of cooperation and enhance the their global influence.
Alexander Lebedev, director general of Russia's Big Asia TV Channel, highlighted the importance of conducting thorough research on media in the Global South. The report goes beyond mere applied research and provides valuable suggestions to the global media industry, which are crucial for the cooperation and development of Global South media.
During the exchange activity, communication experts and journalists also conducted in-depth exchanges and discussions on the concept, development path, and challenges of a shared community of communication for Global South media.
Wang Weijia, vice dean of the School of Journalism and Communication at Peking University, said that developing countries, based on similar historical experiences and social practices, exhibit notable characteristics in media discourse that differ from Western societies. In the future, countries in the Global South should enhance collaboration in media communication practices, scientific research, and talent development, to promote the establishment of a more equitable and rational global information communication order.
According to Zhou Min, vice dean of the School of Journalism and Communication of the Beijing Normal University, resilient collaboration among media organizations in the Global South is more necessary than ever. By seeking common ground while respecting differences, the media organizations should maximize the effectiveness of communication and bring hope to the world through constructive journalism.
Liu Ying, deputy dean of the School of International Journalism and Communication at Beijing Foreign Studies University, said that the concept of a community of communication for Global South media helps to foster communication synergy and "reverse flow" in developing countries, and resist bias of Western media.
Zadora Svetlana, a commentator from the Russian newspaper "Rossiyskaya Gazeta," highlighted the impact of artificial intelligence on the media and the proliferation of fake news on social media platforms.
Thamer Ali Jasim, chief reporter of the Iraq Media Network, said that cooperation with Chinese media can help establish a discourse framework for Southern media and break the monopoly of the "Global North" over global media.
Fares Mohammed Qaid Al-Sulaihi, secretary general of the Yemeni Journalists' Syndicate, believes that Western media still dominate the global media discourse, and the rise of digital and new media presents similar challenges for media in Global South and Chinese media. It is crucial to build a media communication framework that combines breadth, depth, and inclusivity in the future.
Khaled Mahmoud Orabi Moussa, a journalist from the Omani newspaper "Al-Shabiba," stressed the significance of media exchange activities of the Global South. He emphasized the need for traditional media to transform towards new media and digital platforms. Media outlets should deepen cooperation to build a community with a shared future for mankind.
