Media convergence draws top attention

It is highly noteworthy that, for the first time, the media were included in the national reform program by Chinese leader Xi Jinping in a speech on Monday.

Speaking at a meeting of the central leading group to deepen overall reform, Xi urged media to strengthen what he called the "Internet way of thinking" and speed up the "convergence" between traditional media and the Internet and mobile Internet.

Reform of the media was a new addition to the reform tasks outlined by the Third Plenum of the Communist Party of China Central Committee last November.
