To advance the study of global business journalism in China, Tsinghua University and Global Sources have opened the Global Sources Hall at the School of Journalism and Communication.
The Chinese university has also appointed Global Sources' Chairman and CEO Merle A. Hinrichs to its International Advisory Board.
Tsinghua University's Executive Dean of School of Journalism and Communication Professor Li Xiguang said: "We truly appreciate Global Sources' generosity and great support for this unique program. The Global Sources Hall is beautiful, and it is perfectly fitting that its inaugural international event has drawn together leading minds in the academic and private sector to address topics that are critical to advance China's aims in the global context."
Other companies lending support to the school include Omnicom, Bloomberg, Knight Foundation and Merrill Lynch.
Global Sources has been actively engaged with corporate social responsibility initiatives for decades. In addition to the Tsinghua University program, Global Sources is also engaged with the Hong Kong Baptist University; China Europe International Business School; Peking University; and extensive training and export promotion initiatives in China and across Asia.
