WoW

Joseph Bosco has started a project with his journalism students at the prestigious Beijing Foreign Studies Unversity: WoW: We Observe the World. Joseph describes the project:

"WOW: We Observe the World," will be a combination blog and online news magazine produced by the Journalism Department of Beijing Foreign Studies University. The site will not be a place for lyrical prose from wistful Chinese college students. It will be a real news entity written by young adults majoring in journalism. Many of them already have experience working in media.

From the perspective of young Chinese adults, WOW will cover international, national and local news. Real news. It will also feature sections on LifeStyle, Sports, Books, Movies, Music and the Fine Arts. While I am the faculty supervisor for the project, student journalists will produce the content.

I wish them every success with the endevour and it has already been added to the featured Asian blogroll. As a taste there is an interesting survey of almost 700 students at various Chinese universities and their attitudes to the American elections and on the war in Iraq. Here's hoping this portal into the minds of China's next generation of leaders goes from strength to strength.

Dear Simon,

Thanks a million! You did the trick; visitors are coming in fairly decent numbers for a brand new site.

All the very best,
