Max Weber is apparently alive, well, and recycling his thoughts on social stratification as differentiated market pitches for Ming Pao:
Ming Pao in Hong Kong – the most influential Chinese newspaper in Hong Kong
Ming Pao in Canada – the most read chinese newspaper in Vancouver and Toronto
Ming Pao in New York – the most objective and innovative Chinese newspaper in New York
Ming Pao in Canada – the most read chinese newspaper in Vancouver and Toronto
Ming Pao in New York – the most objective and innovative Chinese newspaper in New York
Yeah: party, status, class. Ming Pao is one of a wave of Chinese papers seeking to provide local coverage for a global audience, and this week the group launched a Bay Area edition which has the not wildly unrealistic aim of making 100,000 daily sales. Another altogether more serious publication will be launched next month: Observer Star, we are told,
will be targeted at the global Chinese community, and will be released simultaneously in Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia and North America. This will be the world’s first Chinese language financial newspaper to be released simultaneously throughout the world’s major Chinese markets. The Observer Star will be published weekly and focuses on the current economic state of China. Characterized by in-depth political and financial analysis, reports and carefully selected articles, the paper will also invite experts from various fields worldwide to write special columns, providing various kinds of information on life, culture, local societies and markets. Targeted at businessmen and readers with mid- to high-level incomes, it aims to satisfy reader’s needs for information on the rapid development of China’s economy and society, while keeping update with news and issues from around the world.
I’ve been reading Far Eastern Economic Review for years, but maybe it’s time to start learning Chinese.
