Scholars, media leaders, and changemakers are gathering in Shanghai this week for the 2024 Global South Academic Forum, a groundbreaking event aimed at reshaping how the world hears and understands marginalized voices. Hosted by East China Normal University (Dec. 5-6), the forum tackles one of today’s most pressing challenges: Who controls the global narrative?
The highlight? A fiery panel moderated by CGTN's star anchor Liu Xin on December 6 at 2:10 p.m. BJT. Titled \"Promoting the construction of a 21st-century world information and communication order,\" the discussion will explore how Global South countries can combat misinformation, boost authentic storytelling, and challenge outdated media hierarchies. Think of it as a cultural ‘Avengers assemble’ moment for truth-seekers!
Why it matters: While Western media giants dominate airwaves and algorithms, over 80% of the world’s population lives in the Global South. This forum could spark real change in how knowledge is shared – from TikTok trends to AI ethics. As one organizer put it: \"We’re not just talking about equity; we're building it.\"
Pro tip for students and young professionals: Sessions will stream live globally. Perfect for anyone studying international relations, media, or sustainable development!
