On September 25, 2021, the English journal "Online Media and Global Communication," jointly launched by Shanghai International Studies University and De Gruyter, held the first close-door conference session at the SISU Hongkou campus. More than 30 scholars from China and abroad who are engaged in online media and short video research discussed the characteristics of short video app platforms, their audiences, dissemination methods, and the impact on global communication in an online and offline manner. The academic journal "Online Media and Global Communication" was co-founded by the School of Journalism and Communication of Shanghai International Studies University and the China International Public Opinion Research Center, a key cultivation think tank in Shanghai. The conference aimed to collect excellent manuscripts from home and abroad for the journal and to build an academic community on the global communication of short videos.
