The Centre for Media and Celebrity Studies (CMCS) is an international
organization and research network that helps coordinating academic research and
media commentaries on celebrity culture. CMCS carries a pedagogical
philosophy that inspires integration of research and media skills training in
academic and public discourses of fame. The centre believes in
intellectual, aesthetic, and ethical values of bridging gaps in higher education
and media. With this view, CMCS facilitates research, publications,
creative productions, and media commentaries to restore artistic and ethical
acts for social change.</font></p><font color="#000000" face="arial,helvetica,sans-serif">
