China sees growing clout of new media

Government control over increasingly market-driven Chinese media is said to be decreasing

BEIJING, China Perceived as a regional bully by smaller countries with whom it has maritime or territorial disputes, China is engaging in what it calls "E-public diplomacy."

It is building relations with media from member-countries of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), inviting online journalists for the very first time to its "China-ASEAN Workshop on News Website Development and Cooperation."

In the past, China invited only traditional media for its programs, according to Zhu Xiaozhong, deputy director of the E-Public diplomacy division of the Chinese foreign ministry's information department.

About 20 journalists and media executives and two officers of the ASEAN Secretariat have been invited to participate in the media program in China from August 30 to September 6.

On Monday, September 1, they met with Chinese journalists and academics for a discussion on challenges in operating a news website and cooperation between China and ASEAN countries in the field of "E-public diplomacy."

Balancing interests

Pan Jian, deputy chief editor of People.cn, the first Chinese news website to go public on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, said that while they still need to do a lot to "bridge the gap with the people," they also have to think about returns to their investors by "developing new forms of media" and "setting up media groups that enjoy considerable influence."

The day after People.cn enlisted in the stock exchange, its stock price rose to 106%, about twice the stock price of the New York Times, Pan said.

APN News and Media considers Kiwi spin-off

Video will begin in 5 seconds.

APN News and Media Limited (ASX:APN) is considering options with its New Zealand arm of the business, including an initial public shares offering and listing of the company on the New Zealand Stock Exchange.

APN News and Media is considering whether to spin-off its New Zealand assets as the group assesses strategic options to help battle a volatile advertising market.

APN chief executive Michael Miller told BusinessDaythat all options were being considered for the New Zealand assets as one entity, rather than breaking them into different parts.

The New Zealand arm of APN could be valued between $500 million and $540 million, CCZ Equities media analyst Roger Colman said.

"The radio business is a solid business, the newspapers are not, that's pretty obvious, but the New Zealand Herald is an iconic newspaper," Mr Colman said.

Among the options are listing on the New Zealand Stock Exchange, retaining 100 per cent of the business, or selling the whole New Zealand arm.

"While we're not actively seeking trade sales at the moment, we would consider any trade sale approaches for the whole business which we may receive out of this process," Mr Miller said. "We're not actively looking and we've got nothing we're considering today."
