Planned Activity:- Athletes exchange
Athletes exchange visits between London and Beijing, and friendly matches could be planned.

At present there is a nice chance for people to people information exchange - the Beijing Olympics torch will arrive at London 6th April, by which time both British and Chinese sports stars as well as officials will be together. The arrival of the torch is also end of China in London 2008 season. As what could be expected, thousands and thousands of Londoners and overseas Chinese will join in the celebration, Tibetan protesters as well. It’s every overseas Chinese duty and opportunity to protect the torch and tell foreigners what happened in Tibet by using pictures and slogans.

- Exhibitions
Since work of Chinese artists or documentary-makers about environment in China, security situation, food safety, and Tibetans’ life is not so persuasiveness for westerners, we will invite non Chinese ones to conduct exhibitions on what they have seen on the land.

And from 15 March the featured exhibition “China Design Now” is on V&A, which will last until 13 July 2008. The youngest city Shenzhen, the foremost international city Shanghai, and the Olympics holding city Beijing will show a fantastic contemporary China and extraordinary change for the Games.

- Academic exchange
There are many scholars interested in China, Chinese culture-lovers and China experts in universities. They can give well influenced lectures and talks from English speaking world’s point of view. Also the students are future of the country, we should eliminate their misunderstandings. The confusions made by culture difference could be explained well by westerners. Communication is always very important and effective.

- Experience exchange
The sort of activities is determined by the relationship between London and Beijing as the takeover and handover Olympic cities, and was drawn inspiration from an interview with Harrow Council stuff. What good experience of Beijing doing well on reception issues and other preparations could be learnt from.

Getting in touch with each other, people in two countries will promote friendship and be aware of deeper the different culture value.

Administration:- Timing: from April to September 2008 succession events.

- Budgets: mainly from Chinese government, as well as donations from patriotic personage

Results:
Numbers of lectures & events, and box office of exhibitions could be counted. Any amount, great or small, will be appreciated. Months ahead of Beijing Olympics are just a beginning for infiltrating a real China to all over the world. Long hard way has to go.

Strategy:
- Audience
The series events target on British as well as people around the globe who care about or are interested in Beijing Olympics or Tibet issues. Not only athletes themselves, but academic stuff, journalists, officials, and residents are all our target audience.

- Message
What we want those who are making use of political pressure on sports to understand are what they are doing is wrong and will completely not have the effects they expected. We are offering a chance to show people the facts, and then time will tell the truth.

- Method
For the one who is behaving to disrupt their home country, we cannot stop them, but leave them free to do so to illustrate their so-called “human rights”. For westerners who are not in the know for many years, we cannot persuade them at once, but continue to take up with switching their ideas about China, which is a long-term tough struggle.

- Media
As the fact that some western media are selective blind so that whatever efforts Chinese government made will be ignored, our events are aiming at nongovernmental contact. Schools and universities, museums, etc. are good media we can cover.

Topic:
The government of China has asked you to prepare ideas for a PR campaign (no paid-for advertising) for the UK designed to counteract negative coverage ahead of the Beijing Olympics.

Position:
- Internal
The year 2008 implies a favorable opportunity for the government of China as well as Chinese people to show a real China to the world, and the Western world to go deep into situation and culture there. From the government to ordinary people, Beijing Olympics is being seriously taken account of.

- External
Just at the sensitive moment, Dalai Lama premeditated a serial anti-government and free Tibet movement, attempting to leave negative influence on the Games through political pressure.

Rioters’ violation on Chinese Embassies in some European countries, and Tibetans’ on the Hans in Xizang happened on “3.14”. These movements push China into global media hotspot. But with many foreign media’s inverting justice reports, China government is being blamed in the last two weeks.

Objective:
We are preparing six months continuous events around UK especially in the capital London to return as many facts as possible to the world, to counteract as much negative influence as possible on Beijing Olympics, to persuade more people to face China squarely, even one more.

I was thankful for these twelve weeks that gave me this opportunity to work with the other nine fantastic people. Also I’m getting to know the procedure to build a website. I believe that everyone has done everything to the best of one’s ability for London Out Loud. We have a great our own website now!

Julia, our boss, is very kind-hearted and a very good listener. She accepted different voices as much as possible. And she never drove anyone to do something, if article hadn’t been finished in time or there was just no one free to do some work, she would be patient and did it herself. Thanks, boss!

Deny and Chelna are both nice and responsible editors. Being different from London Alternative, topics of issues as well as of certain articles are managed by editors not oneself. So they just did much more work to think about what should be next issue.

Sebastian and Kheira are also very nice and are happy to help others.

Hugo is really mad with marketing, he has found any ways he could do for marketing.

Ice is really really smart and hard working during the last two months! I don’t think I need to say anything else, she’s work has been appreciated by every classmate.

Chris and Lu did a lot of shooting in order to richen the multimedia session. Not to mention heavy equipments needed taking, editing time needed spending, they are just enthusiastic about the site and anything need to done.

And myself, Yin, am just quite ordinary and have done what I should.

I still think that what London Out Loud attracts people more is the lay out not articles themselves, though some latest comments showed that people were very interested at our fourth issue – SEX.

Now I’ve got into a groove of writing one feature plus a piece of news per week. Thinking back the last ten weeks, on weekdays we had classes and shooting tasks as well as at weekends for the first five weeks when doing TV, after which when we were doing radio, interviews could be done only during weekdays.

So writing for online for me in fact became a “leisure time”, at which time I could summarize what I did on TV or radio as an online feature, or be involved in a certain news deeply when doing research to write it.

We have four issues and I contributed seven articles, five features with two pieces of news.

For issue one – Chinese New Year, just in time I was doing TV documentary China: Generation Next, as a result I had chance, or to say I had to spend whole days to shoot events and celebrations, so I know what happened I have the first hand material.

To write about what China in London 2008 offered and Londoners reaction was not hard for me. As for the one Year of the Rat which talked about fortune and fate, it was Wen task and she suddenly went back to China, so I took over the feature reasonably.

For issue two – London Olympics, I was in charge of a feature of International Women’s Day and news of London future plan’s launching. I think the most important and difficult thing is first I need to understand the context through many researching and then though about how to arrange lots of information to let readers understanding what was going to happen.

For issue three – London Arts, there was one feature I needed to cover. It was the Taste East festival, I really wanted to go there and taste free food as well as drinks, but what a big shame that the two afternoons’ food festival met with International Women’s Day which was my radio feature topic. I had no choice here.

For issue four – Sexy London. The two distributed topic chanced to meet my interest – manga and wireless network. It was easier for me to write, as I visited the three manga shops I recommended very often. The other one’s situation was just the same. Everyone feels easier to research and write what they are interested or familiar with.

At the beginning of this term when we sat down in newsroom started to discuss who would like to do what, I thought I could do everything also nothing. The reason why I am saying this is obvious – I know everything, but everything a little, not on good level.

For English speaking and writing, neither readily reaction or leadership ability nor English-speaking world’s thinking I am not better than others. So I could not choose to be editors or subs or marketing to interfere everyone’s time and work.

For video shooting and editing, evidently Chris and Lu are more professional. Consequently for better performance of our site I should not choose to be in charge of multimedia and photography.

I believe that this is not a chance to practice and improve one’s own ability through twelve weeks’ team work, but to contribute your best ideas, knowledge and energy to conduct a best student website.

Well, only designers left for me as the only one choice. But Ice is very good at this, I would like to share more the heavy burden with her, however she only needs me to do some code.

At first I thought I need to write the code myself, and I do found online java or html course began to learn. When I was at university what I learnt was from the very basic point to understand computer world. Even though at the elective course Multimedia Technology, I was taught using C++ to conduct a program transferring image format.

When I knew only one thing I needed to do was to find free codes on the Internet, on the contrary, I was not that much good at. Although I have a good grasp of programming, various applications are more important and useful for me to learn, because now good software is already there, which who can master skilled who can win.

Well, finally we have comment, bookmark & share, and RSS feeds, also what we haven’t put them online – print, site search, pool, etc, for the reason that page looking or lay out issue.
