It has been a long time since we posted here, and, ahem, one glance at the post below shows that we missed a deadline.

Thomas Crampton's Media & Technology blog is reporting that Malaysia's business magazine, The Edge, will launch a Hong Kong edition in September 2008:
Printed on Thursdays for distribution on Friday and over the weekend, the magazine will try to fill the void in finance news left by the lack of The Wall Street Journal over the weekend. (Speaking personally, there is not much of a void: The Saturday/Sunday edition of the Financial Times does a pretty good job of occupying my weekend.)
Starting with a 64-page book and 5,000-copy print run, The Edge will use high quality art paper and a tabloid format.
Last June, The Edge launched The Edge Financial Daily a daily newspaper in Malaysia on a slightly smaller than Berliner format.
The Edge is not the first Southeast Asian publication mulling a launch in Hong Kong. Singapore Press Holdings came to Hong Kong a couple years ago, but concluded there was not enough appetite for a Singapore-run business magazine in Hong Kong.

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.]]>

Tomorrow launched with its January 2008 edition, and the editor summed up the magazine's mission thusly:
It is our desire to help make your life in Tianjin more enjoyable and less stressful. From using the subway and taking in the sights of Tianjin, to becoming more familiar with Chinese culture as well as the latest developments in Binhai New Area, we want to know what is important to you, and I, as Chief Editor, welcome your suggestions and feedback. Furthermore, we are honored to offer you the most attractive feature stories, and I invite you to submit articles about your own personal experiences.
The magazine boasts the usual fare: restaurant and bar listings, food reviews, and feature stories (the January issue takes a look at Tianjin's quickly expanding subway system).
Tomorrow is also looking for staff, including foreign writers, a foreign advertising manager, and foreign magazine page designer. They are particularly looking for European and North American staff for these positions. Unfortunately, the magazine didn't provide an email address for people to apply.
Hopefully they will work out those kinks with their February issue.]]>

The critics at Shanghaiist, however, are...Camhttp://www.zhongnanhaiblog.com
not impressed with the changes:
After flipping through a copy of their first issue of the new year (which screamed from its cover, "Like our new look?"), we have to say, the change was a little, erm, underwhelming. We were expecting, as their press release proffered, a "bold redesign". Also, we weren't able to find their classifieds segment, so that appears to be a thing of the past now (to the pleasure of Enjoy Classifieds and Adweekly).
SH is run by Asia City, based in Hong Kong. It has other magazines in Bangkok, Hong Kong, and Singapore.]]>
