Last but not least, I will introduce a Chinese American outstanding journalist whose name is Wendi Deng Murdoch.She is the wife of News Corporation Chairman and CEO Rupert Murdoch.

After studying at CSUN, Deng chose to attend business school at Yale, due to the international emphasis of its MBA program. After graduating from Yale she began searching for a job, and met Bruce Campbell via a mutual friend; Campbell at the time oversaw finance and corporate development at Fox TV, Los Angeles. He subsequently offered Deng an internship at News Corp subsidiary, Star TV, in Hong Kong, which developed into a full time position. Though a junior employee, Deng took a role in planning Star TV’s operations in Hong Kong and China, and helped to build up Chinese distribution for Star’s “Channel V” music channel, and investigated interactive TV opportunities for News Digital Systems.

Deng has recently become a director for the holding company that licenses the MySpace brand and technology to MySpace China, her first formal involvement in the media business since she left her job as a Vice President of News Corporation’s STAR TV in Hong Kong in the late 1990s.^{(resource from wiki pedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wendi_Deng)}
