 ion technologies in China *Friday\, October 16th 9:00- 10:00 AM* https://u
 texas.zoom.us/s/94505767984 \n\nThis talk\, based on Tong’s recent publi
 cations\, will discuss how digital communication technologies are contribu
 ting to limiting the space for practicing investigative journalism in Chin

  of profit have radically diminished the necessary conditions for sustaini
 ng investigative journalism. \n\nJingrong Tong is Senior Lecturer in Digit

 ses on the impact of digital technology on journalism\, social media analy
 sis\, and environmental communication.\n\nHosted by Global Media Industry
