I suppose I am just hungry for information that might help me to predict how long China's growth strategy will be sustainable.<br /><br />I wonder whether an 'Asia-Pacific Economic Review' would be a viable proposition for one of the Australian media groups - perhaps as an electronic publication. I don't fully understand the reasons why the Far Eastern Economic Review folded. I guess the name of the publication would have been enough to put off a lot of potential customers. <br /><br />Parts of the Australian media do some things very well. I thought the coverage of the budget in the AFR this morning was good. I haven't got to any other papers yet.Winton Bateshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07383561940886657594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1089082204850170942.post-45122594632668040752011-05-11T05:33:45.835+10:002011-05-11T05:33:45.835+10:00Thanks for writing this post, Winton.

Don't you love the jargon - connectivity indeed!<br /><br />I think that China actually gets fairly full media coverage if we include the financial press because of its current importance. India, by contrast, gets far less. <br /><br />Issues also vanish quite quickly. There is limited follow up reporting. Zimbabwe is an example.<br /><br />You can get a fair idea of the weighting the Australian media places on international issues from the placement on the on-line editions.Jim Belshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075614280789984767noreply@blogger.com
