Front Page of the Day
Goodbye ministersPosted by Banyue, August 31, 2007 2:38 PM
Front Page of the Day is a daily review of the news on the front page of one Chinese newspaper. Today's paper was found at a newsstand in Beijing's central business district.  Beijing News August 31, 2007 Interestingly, almost every metropolitan daily features this story as a top headline, but none of the Party's Chinese-language mouthpieces mention it up front. Headlines in the People's Daily, Guangming Daily, and other national papers herald the closing of the 20th conference of the Standing Committee of the National People's Congress, and relegate the personnel changes to the body of the article. The front page photo shows a divorce trial held in the home of the soon-to-be ex-husband. Because he had been bedridden for a long time, the local judge decided to hold the trial in his home in Fangshan District in the outskirts of Beijing. At the bottom of the page, two headlines mention that a Chinese navy fleet will visit Japan at the end of the year, and the highway between Beijing and Chengde will connect to the Third Ring Road in October.

+ Lip-Service: Lip-Synching in Chinese Pop Music by David Moser (2005.03): When we showed up at the studio for the taping, we discovered that there was no microphone for our singer, no recording equipment or hookups for our amplifiers, and not even any electrical outlets on the stage. "How are we supposed to do our number?" I asked the studio crew. They looked at us incredulously. "You actually want to sing the song live?" they said + New classical education fills a void (2005.06): Why the sudden interest in guoxue (国学)? + People: Dirk Eschenbacher, Ogilvy One (2004.06): Dirk Eschenbacher is Ogilvy One's Regional Creative Director for Asia Pacific, in charge of all interactive creative in the world's fastest-growing online marketing environment.
