Coming to a newsstand near you on Thursday

The profile of Rupert Murdoch’s wife Deng Wendi that was spiked by the editors of Australian newspaper Good Weekend is to be published in Chinese news magazine New Century Weekly (新世纪周刊) this Thursday.

The article has already appeared in English in Australia’s The Monthly. It was also supposed to appear in the U.K.’s Guardian newspaper later this month, but was spiked for unknown reasons.

The cover of the upcoming issue is reproduced here. You can see more of the soon to be published Chinese language article on Ping Ke’s blog: This Unusual Woman. You can see more of the author Eric Ellis’ work at his personal website.

When Chinese magazines start publishing articles that scare off Western editors, you know the times they are a changing.
