FRONT PAGE OF THE DAY
The weekly Economic Observer (jingji guancha bao) gets the prize today for its clean layout and for choice of lead story: CHANGES IN BEIJING’S URBAN PLANNING.
WORST FRONT PAGE OF THE DAY
China Business (zhongguo jingying bao), also a weekly, gets the prize for an awful Photoshop collage as the main image, and a headline worthy of the People’s Daily: “TWO MEETINGS’ REPRESENTATIVES AND COMMITTE MEMBERS PAY ATTENTION TO THE PHENOMENON OF “RED HAT BUSINESSMEN” (i.e. government officials who also do business); THE CENTRAL DISCIPLINARY COMMITTEE AND MIDDLE GROUP RELEASES DOCUMENT TO CLEAR OUT CADRES WITH SECOND CAREERS”
China Business is actually quite a good read, and has a special supplement about advertising in every issue.
