The statement, which became my major inspiration for media research is, Marshall McLuhan’s saying, “We shape our tools and thereafter our tools shape us”, the way media would shape society shaped in particular. Similarly, media seems to be a significant maker of individuals’ perceptions. Being a media researcher and media professional, I witnessed the saying of Marshal McLuhan being practical about how media tend to shape the lives of individuals and the world.

I truly enjoy collaborating with like-minded researchers from around the world, learning from their ideas and experiences. I am always eager to contribute further to making media a positive influence for its audiences.
