Speech Title:

The Trend of Media Diplomacy in the Game of Great Powers under Geopolitics

Abstract：

“The modern art of media diplomacy is to use Theodore Roosevelt’s big stick, but digitally – and never ever to speak softly”; this or something similar could be a future definition of 21st century ‘media diplomacy’. Academically, as an intellectual exploration, the Working Group’s investigation considered how the upheavals of the international world might affect future diplomacy. Practitioners, on the other hand, want to know what concrete conclusions can be drawn from this exploration. Are there necessarily consequences to be drawn for politics, the work of diplomacy, and or changes to be made to diplomatic instruments?

It is worth looking at public diplomacy beyond the experiences of the United States or the anglophone world. The debate about the new public diplomacy after 11 September 2001 has become dominated by US public diplomacy, and it has been characterized by a strong emphasis on international security and the relationship between the West and the Islamic world.

Many of the dilemmas of cultural and information policies also confront those who shape national media policies. However, in multicultural societies, the dilemma of how to allow freedom of speech without encouraging hate speech is the central question. Different media philosophies would, of course, respond differently to this question. As long as allegiance was paid to the central authorities, each cultural community was largely left to its own devices. In the Islamic empires, in fact, the millet system ensured a high level of internal government for the Peoples of the Book.

Speech Title:

Comparing Journalistic Professionalism in China, Thailand, USA, and UK

Abstract:

While it is often argued that journalism should have universal professional standards, it is clear from the diversity of the output of news media outlets within countries and between different countries that this is not the case. The function and performance of news media professionals is dependent on each country’s individual media ecosystem made up of the interaction of government, politics, economy, society, education, and the journalists themselves.

Evidence gathered from interviews with journalists in China, Thailand, the USA and the UK will be presented in this lecture to show to what extent journalists’ discourse about topics such as truth, ethics, and power is similar and to what extent it varies. The sociological and political-economic conditions which underpin these differences and parallels will then be examined. In this way we can get a more holistic view of the influences on news media production which will, in turn, inform a more sustainable way to compare journalistic professionalism around the world.

Teaching the virus a lesson: Things that work and things that don't in Online Education

Abstract:

Over the last year and a half, many educators have had to navigate a steep learning curve when it comes to distance education. No matter where one looks on the globe, at least partial distance/online learning was used in most teaching situations, be they found in secondary or tertiary pedagogical institutions. While the universality of this online teaching necessity is historically unprecedented, for the last 70 or 80 years there have already been institutions which might not have taught online, but certainly over a distance. Open Universities and distance learning universities such as The University of Phoenix and others have been very successful in educating many people from afar. More recently, Udemy from San Francisco has had a major impact with its massive open online course (MOOCs) , although the jury is still out whether these classes are as efficient as face-to-face ones. Early research seems to indicate that this might not be the case, at least when looking at the numbers of student completion rates which can be as low as 7% (https://www.insidehighered.com/news/2013/05/10/new-study-low-mooc-completion-rates).

There are a number of reasons why online education is both failing and succeeding. Some of them are technical, others pedagogical. An example for the first one is that in March 2020, following students’ request, the University of the Philippines announced that it would not have online classes, as the majority of its students did not have the technical environment to participate in them (https://www.philstar.com/headlines/2020/04/10/2006588/students-urge-termination-current-semester-suspension-online-classes). Other issues include legal questions, such as, who owns the videos created? The teacher, the institution? A recent case from Canada highlights this issue. A student from Concordia University in Montreal wanted to contact the teacher of a class he was taking, only to find out that the instructor had died two years earlier while the university gave the impression that the teacher continue to give classes. (“Despite his demise, Francois-Marc Gagnon is still lecturing for an online course on Canadian art history at Concordia University in Montreal via pre-recorded videos.” (https://www.reuters.com/article/us-global-tech-rights-analysis-trfn-idUSKBN2A521B)

It is also clear that many students and teachers dislike online classes. In a poll conducted in February 2021 at my home institution, more than 65% of students stated that they preferred in-person courses. Whether students do better in online courses vs in-person ones is hotly debated; at least for high school students in Germany, research shows that for online classes, students do not do as well in terms of quantity and quality of material learned. (Spiegel 3, 16.1.2021, p. 24)

In my presentation I will leave the above factors out, as they deserve much more room than I could possibly give them in my presentation, and will solely concentrate on the content of courses I taught over the last two years at several institutions. Evidence will show that for some topics (not surprisingly, more theoretical ones) online teaching can be done in a way to benefit most students, as long as an effort is made by both teachers and students; as for other classes (most notably more practically oriented ones), I will claim that even the best efforts by all stakeholders will result in an inferior educational outcome for students when compared to face-to-face classes. A hybrid system of teaching therefore seems to work best in the majority of cases.

Speech Title:

Research on the Development Status and Cognitive Effect of Artificial Intelligence Anchor

Abstract: 

For a long time, anchors have been considered as a human-specific profession, but the birth of artificial intelligence anchors has subverted this traditional cognition. With the in-depth development of artificial intelligence technology, the introduction of artificial intelligence technology into the field of video news has resulted in more diversified news products. Intelligent machine anchors have gradually taken on tasks such as hosting and broadcasting in radio, television, Internet and other media, and are aware of users The effect has a certain impact. Although delayed, it has renewed the traditional radio, television and video programming production process and has attracted widespread interest from all disciplines.

Artificial intelligence anchors refer to intelligent media products that are driven by artificial intelligence technologies such as big data, machine learning, virtual synthesis, and human-computer interaction, and are responsible for hosting and broadcasting functions in media such as radio, television, and the Internet. Research has found that artificial intelligence anchors have the characteristics of interaction between embodied cognition and detached cognition, the combination of intelligent technology and anchor art, and the coexistence of subject and object identity. It is the latest and highest stage of the development of artificial intelligence video news. The development of global artificial intelligence anchors has gone through three stages: research origin and germination, technological exploration and accumulation, and synthetic application. The current global artificial intelligence anchors are experiencing from low-level to high-quality applications, from single mode to customized production, from "machine for people" to "human-machine collaboration" development, from mechanical transmission to emotional interaction development, from non-commercialization to non-commercialization. The continuous development of commercial applications and other levels has further affected human anchors, industrial patterns and public vision.

Artificial intelligence anchors directly affect human anchors, and they are constantly taking on the role of direct dialogue between the media and audiences and disseminating information like human news anchors. The audience's attitude towards artificial intelligence anchors needs to be tested for effectiveness. Based on this, the article uses comparative experiments and in-depth interviews to study the audience's cognitive and emotional effects on artificial intelligence anchor news and human anchor news. The experimental results show that, compared with the news of human anchors, the information transmission effect of news of artificial intelligence anchors is weakened, and the audience shows a higher degree of comprehension of the news of human anchors, but there is no obvious difference in love and credibility. It is different from people's general perception. The results of the interview showed that the audience generally had positive feelings about the news of artificial intelligence anchors and a positive attitude towards their future. They believed that the rational and optimized application of artificial intelligence anchors was the general trend. But there are also certain negative sentiments about some issues. The study also suggests that in the era of deep media integration, user-centered product design ideas should be adhered to, innovative News products combined with the characteristics of artificial intelligence anchors that are suitable for audiences, and continuous development in the direction of human-machine collaboration.

Key words: 

Artificial intelligence anchor; Synthetic application; Human-machine collaboration; Cognitive research; Emotional and effects
