Two different blog awardsPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, January 9, 2005 3:10 PM
Hong Kong blogger Simonworld hosted an 'Asian Blog Awards' poll. The results are here. It's a good reference if you're looking for Asia-related blogs in English. Meanwhile a website calling itself Not The South China Morning Post or NTSCMP has also presented a list of winners for "Asia Blog Awards 2004". NTSCMP takes itself a little too seriously. At the top of the homepage are these two quotes: "I think of Dr. George Adams and "NOT the South China Morning Post" as kin to the lone Chinese who challenged the column of tanks at Tiananmen Square in June of 1989." - Editor and Publisher Magazine That's a little excessive for what is essentially a badly designed blog with a small readership. Furthermore NTSCMP seems to feel slightly threatened by blogs, and has an irregular feature called Blogwatch, which mocks Hong Kong bloggers. Nonetheless, Not The South China Morning Post is worth visiting because it is often very funny. Here are some excerpts from the site's Asian Blog Awards: BLOG LEAST LIKELY TO BE MISSED : Of all the blogs that expired this year, none better deserves its demise than GWEILO DIARIES [site no longer operating, but here is a review of it on Danwei]... |

Classic Danwei posts
+ The top Chinese books in 2007 (2008.02): China Reading Journal (中华读书报), Yazhou Zhoukan (亚洲周刊), and City Pictorial (城市画报) choose mainland China's top books for 2007. + Men behind the Nanny (2005.04): The Publicity Department (formerly known as the Propaganda Department) has held a "forum" in Beijing to promote what it calls "news editorial staff management regulations (in testing phase)". These regulations appear to be same the set of rules earlier reported on Danwei of which the stated intent is to clear up corrupt journalistic practices. + Asimov Published, Interviewed in Beijing (2005.03): Cover story from this week's Book Review section of The Beijing News announces the publication of a Chinese translation of Isaac Asimov's complete Foundation series. Yup, the Beijing News has scored a fictional interview with "I, Asimov". They've been taking similar liberties recently in their entertainment sections, captioning photographs of celebrities with made-up quotes.
