The Tow Center for Digital Journalism and the Committee to Protect Journalists will host a half-day symposium to discuss the best research and guides related to digital media and press freedom in China in the era of big tech. The symposium will consist of three panel discussions on the state of digital media in China, the role of tech platforms, and China's authoritarian influence on free expression around the globe, respectively. Tow Center Researchers Mia Shuang Li and Emilie Xie will present preliminary research results on the WeChat-based “self media” phenomenon and the black box news personalization algorithms of China’s leading news aggregators.
