China Media Guide

I told you I'd keep my eye on Danwei, the media blog about China. Well, nothing new has been posted there since I began looking, but I did find Danwei's China Media Guide.


The authors say, "This is not meant to be a comprehensive list of Chinese media entities - such a thing would be drowned in the Daily newspapers published by party committees of every county seat across the country; rather, the newspapers, magazines, TV stations and websites listed here are those that we at Danwei read regularly, have a passing familiarity with, or simply feel are worthy of note."

What follows is a long annotated list of newspapers, magazines, and television broadcasts (and web links to many of them). Outlets affiliated with the government or party are marked.

For example (the star indicates party or government affiliation):

Newspapers
National
People's Daily Group
☆People's Daily (人民日报)
National voice of the Party. Also available in an English version.
Beijing Times (京华时报) ¥0.5
Part of People's Daily group but edited and managed like commercial newspapers such as Beijing Youth Daily. It borrows its design from Southern Metropolis Daily, and aspires to be a working-class paper, a beggars' paper...




So, if you're looking for a Chinese source for your students to read or research from, check out the list.
