The 2008 Olympic Games begin today, and Danwei has spruced itself up a little, like everything else in our beloved city of Beijing.
Here are some of the new and updated features on the site:
A visual guide to changes in the Chinese media from 1978 to 2008.
A home for online video about China.
Olympic Model Workers English division
A list of the best blogs and new media websites about China in English.
Olympic Model Workers Chinese division
A list of the best blogs and new media websites about China in Chinese.
Danwei’s guide to Chinese media, in print and on the web.
In addition to above, we have also spruced up the home page: the right column now includes links to:
• Media, advertising and communications jobs in China
• Danwei.TV videos
• Reviews and excerpts from books on China
• Front page of the day: an image of the front page of a Chinese newspaper every week day, and a translation or summary of an article in the newspaper
• A randomly generated selection of good articles and posts from our archives
• A tag cloud
Finally, an old but little known feature: Danwei Side, a website that collects all the links and comments displayed on Danwei’s grey top bar, links to news stories and blog posts about China.
