Abstract

The article discusses measures to develop the Chinese media industry in the global information market. In a post-industrial economy dominated by globalization and digitalization, China's media industry has faced new challenges and opportunities in the process of actively integrating into the global market. The purpose of the study is to analyze the market structure and status quo in the global creative economy, and provide recommendations for China to use the media industry as a starting point for the structural transformation of the economy and improve the international competitiveness of content industry products. According to the author, while maintaining an open and free market, it is beneficial for China to use digital media convergence and new media platforms to open global markets for its media products. The point is to balance the originality of Chinese culture with global market acceptance in line with the principle of cultural diversity, complete the transformation to a creative content industry, and make the Chinese media industry more competitive.
