The media spotlight on US-China trade relations has never been brighter, and there's no doubt that the media play a crucial role in shaping how people see and understand this relationship. But in light of new shifts within the global order, how does that alter the way we perceive the world through the media's lens?


Start your day with AmCham China MarCom Committee for a Breakfast Workshop on Media & Business Reporting on Oct 31, Thursday, 8:30am-10:30am.


In this morning workshop session, we are honored to invite chief editors from several prestigious media and news agencies to discuss topics including:


  • How are media outlets adapting to today's global environment?
  • How are geopolitical factors impacting business news story telling?
  • What are the current focus areas - and challenges - for business reporters in China today?
  • What companies can do better in working with media?


*Coffee and light breakfast will be provided!
