Shanghai-based reporter

China Economic Review is seeking a reporter for our Shanghai office. Responsibilities include generating story ideas and following up on leads, writing and researching stories for print and online and proofreading and copyediting. The candidate should be willing to learn quickly about new trends, industries and issues. Journalism experience is preferred but not required; knowledge of China’s business and economic environment is an advantage but not essential. Native-level English is necessary, and Chinese language skills are a plus. E-mail resume and clips to Tim Burroughs at tim.burroughs@sinomedia.net

This is a media site, and I intend to keep it that way.  Nonetheless, a good friend has asked me if I know anyone that would like to teach English once a week.  It would be for Siemens, and the class would consist of about 10 Siemens staff.  The pay is about 150 RMB/hr (negotiable) and I believe the class would only be 1 or 2 hours.  It’s not a huge commitment, but might help with extra cash for those who need it.  Anyone interested can email faypixy@gmail.com
