Charles McGhee was back in Beijing in June to run another three-week course for young journalists with Xinhua, the state-run national and international news agency. Xinhua supplies China's booming media industry in print, broadcast and online. There is a growing demand for the agency's English language news, features and picture service and Xinhua is in the process of training many of its journalists in English-language news writing. The course run by Charles was once again delivered under the auspices of the
Thomson Foundation, the not-for-profit organisation which trains journalists and other media professionals in developing countries. You can visit Xinhua's English-language news
website here.
