<\/p>\nFRONT PAGE OF THE DAY<\/p>\n
Today’s winner is the tabloid Xinbao — English name recently changed to Beijing Daily Messenger. The big headline is: Huang Dingyu fired by Central Academy of Drama yesterday evening. The Central Academy’s Professor Huang has apparently been up to all kinds of no good.<\/p>\n
The Xinbao is today’s Front Page of the Day because of the sheer entertainment value of the small headline in blue, on the front page, above the fold:<\/p>\n
ONLY ONE GOLF COURSE APPROVED IN THE WHOLE COUNTRY<\/p>\n
Yes that’s right folks, there may be a hundred thousand golf courses across China, but only one is officially approved.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
WORST FRONT PAGE OF THE DAY<\/p>\n
The award goes to Beijing Morning Post (Beijing Chenbao) for execrable design, made worse by an ad for discount mobile phones covering almost a third of the page.<\/p>\n
The large headline: The sense of security of the masses increases by 7.1 percent.<\/p>\n
Don’t YOU feel safe?<\/p>\n
The image shows delegates arriving for the six way North Korea talks, but this news is reported under the headline:<\/p>\n
Journalists wait for 5 hours.<\/p>\n
If the talks fail and nuclear war breaks out, the Morning Post will probably tell you that they are feeling a little hot.<\/p>\n
