Professor Hugo de Burgh is the Director of the China-UK Creative Industries (CUKCI) at Goldsmiths, University of London. He left University of Westminster in 2020 and went to Schwarzman College, Tsinghua University as the Walt Disney Chair in Global Media and Communications in 2021. He is also Director of the China Media Centre which he founded in January 2005. de Burgh is the founder, and Honorary Chairman of, Europe's first dual-language English Chinese School, Kensington Wade. He was a (national) Gresham Lecturer in 2020 and 2022[1]. He lectured on China's media[2] at Jesus College, Cambridge University in March 2022.

His publications include the 3rd edition of Investigative Journalism (2021)[3]; the 2nd edition of China’s Media in the Emerging World Order (2020)[4]; China’s Environment and Chinese Environment Journalists (2013)[5]; (with Boris Johnson, Alison Wolf et al) Can the Prizes Still Glitter? The Future of British Universities in a Changing World (2007)[6] and China and Britain: the potential impact of China’s development (2005)[7].

Background

de Burgh started in academic life teaching history at Edinburgh University before working as an education correspondent and television producer for STV, BBC and Channel 4. In 2004, he joined the University of Westminster as a professor of journalism, where he set up the China Media Centre.[8] Since 2021, he is the Director of the China-UK Creative Industries (CUKCI) at Goldsmiths, University of London.

Thesis

His original focus was the social function of journalism as a reflection of culture. He has said "It is often said that journalism is the first rough draft of history; by contrast, investigative journalism provides the first rough draft of legislation..."[9]

In 2020 in China’s Media in the Emerging World Order, he argued that "the way the Chinese media work can be understood as a reflection of culture as much as of political economy."[10]

Chinese journalism

Of special interest is the reappearance of investigative journalism in China since 1992. He said this showed that the supposedly western techniques of investigative journalism apply in contrasting political cultures.

"It was a surprise to Western observers to find that the Chinese media (and investigative journalists in particular) are, despite limitations upon them, influencing public life today by introducing new and unconventional ideas, changing terms of reference, forcing the pace of reform, giving voice to concerns and calling attention to issues".[11]
