Ming magazine and a lament from a Rolling Stone fanPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, June 2, 2006 11:18 AM
At 4 am this morning, a Chinese Rolling Stone magazine fan left a long comment on a Danwei post, which is worth reading if you have been following the travails of that publication.
Read the whole thing at the bottom of the Danwei post Rolling Stone Hits Wall? In the meantime, One Media, the Hong Kong company behind the troubled Chinese Rolling Stone, has launched Ming magazine (pictured), a glossy in three parts that resembles a Chinese hybrid of Vanity Fair, People and GQ. They are advertising heavily on billboards in Beijing. Their distribution to the newsstands seems to be effective. But the content seems to be a bit of a mish mash. Time will tell. |

Comments on Ming magazine and a lament from a Rolling Stone fan
I read all first 3 issues of MING. It is great.
I have read somewhere that the music editor of the Rolling Stone Magazine, Li Hong Jie, is doing two jobs as an editor of a rival rock magazine of Rolling Stone that always rip off stories and pictures from the Rolling Stone US edition. Is that all possible? There's a conflict of interest here! It's like bring the wolf home. It is like saying "Welcome! now you don't have to steal our material without paying, since you are working for us we give you the original files ahead of time to copy us instead of waiting for your subscribed copy!". And it is not a secret in the music media that this editor used to hire ghost writer to translate Rolling Stone and other stolen material from English into Chinese and put his by-line on the piece instead. What kind of sorry state is the Chinese media in nowadays?!?!
Not just Li Hong Jie steal other people's work and put his own name in the story or the book, another Rolling Stone China intern editor Wang Ning also put his name on other writer's work when that writer left the magazine. These people has no shame, nor can they even spell the world shame.
seems danwei.org become a rumour/gossip center and a PK show.
Good point also reader. Comments on this one are closed.
