Shanghainese blogger Bingfeng Tea House comments on the newspaper China Business News (diyi caijing ribao):
the contents [of China Business News], the way of presentation, along with its clean and simple appearance, all reflect the style that its chief editor pursues – feed people with sound, fact-based information rather than make them excited.
the kiosk owner tells me that nobody buys it, “people just think it sucks”. the other two business weekly newpapers – the Economic Observer and the 21st Century Economic Report, sell good and run out quickly. the EC has a very strong idealist flavor and 21CER, due to its origin, is a newspaper that many company PR guys want to avoid to meet. these two will make your blood pressure rise, eyes open wide, heartbeat speed up … all in all, make you excited.
i just wonder, which one sucks – the CBN or people’s taste?
