2023年3月8日，葡语国家研究院利天佑副教授（Francisco Leandro）帶領2022/2023屆博士生來到澳門商務傳媒中心總部，同社長馬天龍（Jose Carlos Matias）先生座談交流。城大師生們在豐富、友好和深入的交談中瞭解了澳門商業雜誌的運作情況和發展願景，聆聽了馬天龍先生的豐富專業知識和獨到見解，進一步理解了澳門特區作為中葡平台的意義。馬天龍先生對澳門商業領域的不同發展階段有著敏銳的洞察力，對本地商業文化和國際商業文化研究造詣頗深。馬天龍的團隊憑藉豐富的新聞從業經驗、富有啟發性的獨到視角和對本澳傳媒的熟諳運作，打造出高品質內容，將澳門的特質展現給國際讀者。

On March 8, 2023, in a rich, expansive and friendly conversation, Mr. Jose Carlos Matias led the IROPC Cohort of 2022/2023 doctoral candidates to the heart of Macau Business Media’s headquarter to understand its operation. This rare opportunity to listen in on Mr. Matias’ accumulated industry knowledge and wisdom has greatly enhanced the group of doctoral candidates’ concept of Macau SAR’s role as a platform between Macau and the Portuguese-Speaking Countries. Mr. Matias’ unflinching eye on histories through different stages of development in Macau’s business sector says volume about his devotion to the understanding of local and international business culture and climate. With his breadth of experience in journalism, tethering to immense insightfulness and a keen sense of Macau’s communal infrastructure, Mr. Matias and his team excel in presenting the uniqueness of Macau’s ins and outs to an international audience in uncompromising quality in both content and language. 

是次座談思想碰撞，互動熱烈。馬天龍先生強調《澳門商業》雜誌作為大灣區媒體項目發揮的重要作用。他表示，《澳門商業》十分關注深合區及大灣區城市的發展。馬天龍回答了城大師生們就讀者群體和同本地媒體競爭的提問，表示作為一流的新聞媒體，《澳門商業》雜誌在過去20年歲月里，不斷強化新聞來源和報導的準確性和可信度，早已同讀者建立起堅實的聯繫和讀者信任。關於當下的媒體間競爭，《澳門商業》雜誌同國內大型官媒和國外的可信新聞機構建立了合作，獨一無二的資源使其更有信心參與媒體競爭。

During this most engaging session of exchange of information and ideas, Mr. Matias explained to the group the significance of the role Macau Business play as a media project within the Greater Bay Area.  He stated that the imminent concern for the expansion into Macau-Hengqin developing area, as well as other cities in the near future cannot be understated.  He also addressed queries on readership and competition from local press, suggesting that as a top-notch news media outlet, the connection and trust they have built over the past two decades is indicative of the credibility and accuracy in their news sourcing and reporting from credible news outlet, both nationally and internally.

本次訪問城大師生團由葡語國家研究院教師和中國-葡語國家經貿文化交流專題研究課程學生組成。是次訪問不僅為葡語國家研究院博士生提供了鍛煉訪談和研究技巧的機會，同時還親身感受本澳新聞媒體運作，加深了對澳門平台及澳門在大灣區作用的認識。

Comprised of students on the course of Thematic Studies on China/Portuguese-speaking Countries Economic, Trade and Cultural Exchanges and the academic staff of the IROPC.  This visit provided IROPC’s doctoral candidates a chance to hone their interview and research techniques. The exposure to the operation of a local news media also advances the knowledge on the concept of MSAR as a platform and its role in the context of the Greater Bay Area.
