JOHANNESBURG Women's
Air VaporMax Rose Red Silver Australia , Aug. 14 (Xinhua) -- The
Chinese and African media houses on Monday agreed to deepen cooperation in
information sharing, best practice and training to improve the dissemination of
information about Sino-Africa relations.

At the China-Africa Media Forum held Monday in Johannesburg, over 40 media
delegates from China and 11 African countries gathered to explore new areas of
cooperation.

Guo Weimin, deputy director of the State Council Information Office of China,
said the media should complement the political, economic and people friendships
which are existing. Chinese and African media should counter the Western media
which tend to portray the continent as that characterized by wars Men's

poverty.

"The Chinese and the African media should counter the Western media
stereotype. You should report truthfully about the Sino-Africa relations. The
Chinese and African media should walk hand in hand and strengthen reporting in
international affairs and make our voices heard on issues of fairness and
rationality," said Guo.

Guo called on Chinese and African media to forge new structures on
cooperation in the media and challenge the monopoly of the western media.

Lin Songtian, Chinese Ambassador to South Africa said the media should
articulate success stories of both partners. He said China is in Africa for a
win win situation to help build infrastructure, transfer skills and create jobs,
and the media should work towards strengthening the Sino-Africa relations.

"African and Chinese media should work towards common development. We have to
build the positive image of our relations, share our common values Men's

common interest. Both sides should stand up and loudly tell people of the world
who their true and reliable friend is," said Lin.

Lin challenged the Western media to visit the quality infrastructural
projects in Kenya, Zambia, Ethiopia and other African countries so as to report
factually.

Tendai Manzvanzvike, Zimbabwe's Herald chief editor said Sino-Africa
cooperation is required to break the Western media monopoly which is meant to
suit a particular agenda.

"No African country is in a win-win situation with the West, but they have
with China. Opportunities abound for media cooperation Men's

that can be vehicles for development and prosperity. One of the issues that the
African media has to learn from its Chinese counterparts is reporting on
developmental issues, reports that would enable development-oriented policy
making by governments," she added.

She hailed China for improving the information technology infrastructure
thereby benefiting the African media. The Zimbabwean praised China for offering
African media practitioners training and refresher courses. Manzvanzvike
suggested that resources should be availed to enable more Chinese media
practitioners reporting the African story from African media houses, and vice
versa.

"Instead of having a few media personnel trained in Mandarin, it should be a
major requirement that schools that offer journalism and media studies include
foreign languages, and one of the key languages should be Mandarin Men's

Kevin Ritchie, regional executive editor of Independent Media, said South
Africa's BRICS membership has enabled the country an opportunity to harness with
a different part of the world particularly nations with very similar backgrounds
and challenges.

"BRICS not only offers us a very real opportunity to mitigate these risks
both economically and socially, but in particular by being able to provide and
contribute to a different narrative, which is precisely where we come in as the
media. There are many outside of the BRICS arc, particularly in the traditional
poles of power Cheap
Men's Air Vapormax Flyknit 2018 Black Australia , who have a vested
interest in seeing BRICS fail or ignoring it altogether," he added.

Ritchie said media organizations within BRICS are duty bound to place the
bloc story on the agenda. They (BRICS media) have a duty to report about
economic opportunities and other success stories.

"As media from China and South Africa, we can use this opportunity to forge
bonds, to learn from one another, to discuss the shortcomings we might have and
find solutions to problems that are actually common to both of us, reflecting
the needs of our realities Men's
Air Vapormax 2018 Grey Black Australia Outlet , " said Ritchie.

Andrew Kagwa Gathaara, chief editor of Kenya's Standard said Chinese media
practitioners are currently on attachment in African media houses, and they have
employed Africans to tell their own story.

With the theme of Win-win Cooperation for Common Progress, the China-Africa
Media Forum was hosted by the State Council Information Office of China, and
co-organized by China's Xinhua News Agency and South Africa's Independent Media.
