Danwei TV 2: Extra! Extra! Read all about it!Posted by Jeremy Goldkorn on Tuesday, March 21, 2006 at 10:38 PM
Below is the second episode of Danwei TV. It's about news stands, magazines and newspapers in Beijing. Click on one of the little screens below to play; you can also view it in a larger format on the Youtube.com website, or on the Revver.com website. The short program shows a typical news stand where many Beijing residents purchase newspapers and magazines, and includes short interviews with a news stand operator and two customers. It was shot and edited by Luke Mines, with the original music by Fernando Fidanza.
The circulation figures for the Beijing Evening News come from ESWN: The Real Circulation Numbers for Beijing Newspapers After reviewing the video, I fear there might be small inaccuracies when it comes to the stated prices of the glossy magazines. These errors will be corrected in text in this space as soon as possible. If you want to know more about print media in China, please have a look at the links below. Links and Sources

Classic Danwei posts
+ Korean history doesn't fly on Chinese TV screens (2007.09): SARFT puts the kibbosh on Korean historical dramas. + Religion and government in an uneasy mix (2008.03): Phoenix Weekly (凤凰周刊) article from October, 2007, on government influence on religious practice in Tibet. + David Moser on Mao impersonators (2004.10): I first became aware of this phenomenon in 1992 when I turned on a Beijing TV variety show and was jolted by the sight of "Mao Zedong" and "Zhou Enlai" playing a game of ping pong. They both gave short, rousing speeches, and then were reverently interviewed by the emcee, who thanked them profusely for taking time off from their governmental duties to appear on the show.
