TV and online media - cooperating for a thriving future

Television channels and the online media need not necessarily be rivals. They can cooperate in an ever-growing market.

At least, this was the message at a forum organized by the Communication University of China in Beijing last week.

The co-host of the forum, Toutiao, which means "headline" in Chinese, one of the country's most popular smartphone news applications, revealed its ambition to work more closely with the traditional media.
