Research On The Media Images Of Chinese Overseas Students In International Students

The spring breeze of reform and opening up has increased the number of Chinese overseas students, and so are the related media, among which International Students represents the authority. Its title was inscribed by Deng Xiaoping. The lively words vividly depict the models of the students, as well as the various and stylish media images of Chinese overseas students.The following four student images, including those who are born talented, who start their own careers, who industriously pursue their academic life and who serve their motherland are the most favored and skilled types presented by International Students. In these reports, the Chinese overseas students bravely achieve their career success and make contributions to nation’s modern drive despite great hardship. So many positive media images have not only brought confidence to educators, but further improved China’s nation image. The Chinese overseas students, who serve as bridge, can convey information about China, like the efforts made by China in fields of politics, economics, and culture, as well as its developments, which can help the world to know about China, to clear up the former misunderstanding, so the world can support China’s peace development. Meanwhile, Chinese overseas students stand for their nation image. Their behavior represents their nation. People from other countries can have a glimpse of China’s image.However, communication theory says that the pseudo-environment created by media is different from the real environment. At the same time, compared with the Internet, TV, the magazine has its own limits. So, the description of Chinese overseas students still exists much imperfection. For example, there are too many positive reports about the elite students but seldom can we see the reports about ordinary ones; The news reports have the tendency of being too commercialized and entertaining. From the angle of media attributes and media responsibility, International Students, which has the political attributes of Chinese People under the Mission Central, strictly obey the standard of choice and writing of news. In the content, the magazine neglects negative reports about people and things, but choose the positive ones for education. However, the sole positive reports can’t lead readers’deep reflection on their success, because from the media responsibility, International Students should shorten the distance of models and common people through proper description to guide them to face and deal with difficulties, to be clear about development goals so as to choose their right life path. Only by doing so can we present media’s social responsibility, have correct opinions about International Students. And we can show our nation’s good images by the building of Chinese students’ image and improvement of media’s responsibility.We can see that if we want to improve the media images of Chinese overseas students, we must raise their overall qualities first of all. Only by this can the behavior of them can be standardized, and can we have more positive media images. Meanwhile, for the mass media, they should raise their responsibility, set up their right schedule, and provide some negative information. So people can see things from two sides. The reports should combine the logic comment and sensible comment, and strengthen their supervision on the Internet. Only though inside and outside improvement can we promote the media images of Chinese overseas students.
