Welcome to the home of the Center for International Media Education (CIME).  This year marks the Center’s Twelfth Anniversary as a nexus for international partnerships devoted to teaching, research, and service in the field of journalism. Since 1997, CIME has been cooperating with partner institutions in the United States and overseas to assist with strengthening journalism, journalism education, and the efforts of nongovernmental organizations. The Center has conducted campus-based World Media Forums, international student and faculty exchanges, student internships, and workshops for faculty, students, media professionals, and NGOs.
 
The Center’s network in the Middle East, North Africa, and Asia, includes university faculties, students, media professionals, and NGOs. CIME is a co-founder of the Arab-U.S. Association for Communication Educators (AUSACE), and co-sponsors AUSACE’s  international conferences and workshops. In China, the CIME has built a relationship with Beijing Foreign Studies University (BFSU) and Shanghai University and is currently working on a media advocacy project to promote smoke-free workplaces in factories in China.

This project grew out of the course CIME director, Dr. Leonard Teel, in investigative journalism at BFSU. To read the stories the course produced, please click here.

Research activities thus include sponsorship of multi-national collaborative studies in journalism professionalism and academic excellence, and the hosting of Fulbright and other research fellows.  The Center publishes two peer-reviewed journals, the Journal of Middle East Media and the Atlanta Review of Journalism History.
