China Media News is often sent emails from people looking for work in television in China. Unfortunately, for native speakers of English, there are only three options for English-language television: CCTV 9, the Guangzhou English Channel, and Shanghai's new ICS.
To that list we can now add Tianjin Television, which has recently launched BizTraveler, a program based on CNN's Business Traveler. Cam MacMurchy, your correspondent here at China Media News, hosts the program alongside Erin Mackie, a Canadian media veteran from Toronto. (More on the new program can be found on our sister site, Zhongnanhai, here and here.)
Many cities in China are considering experimenting with locally-run English language television and radio programs, and Tianjin perhaps makes the most sense. The growing TEDA area is becoming a magnet for foreign investment and companies, resulting in a larger English-speaking expat population.
The newspaper USA Today is looking for a full-time News Assistant to join its Beijing bureau. Please apply if you are energetic, resourceful and inspired by a deep interest in the changes sweeping China.
Responsibilities will include: finding stories/sources, monitoring Chinese media, arranging interviews and trips, translation and some administration. You will need strong research and people skills, a good news sense - and a sense of humor.
Strong English skills, willingness to travel and professional experience in the media are also preferred. Work hours are generally normal office hours, plus occasional evening and weekend work.
Please send a cover letter and resume to usatchina@yahoo.com
