Asian Congress for Media and Communication
How do we define transcendental concepts such as beauty, art age or even goodness? As an Asian, are you concerned about how “white” your skin color is or how sleek and straight our hair falls? Is a particular brand of clothing more desirable than another? Can we say that the free media truly free or has it become a slave to the market? What is the relationship of advertising to State-run media? These and many other questions will be the areas of discussion in this conference.
