...How to be a Leading Finance Magazine— A Case Study of Caijing By Lin Hong GRADUATION PAPER May 19, 2010 Paper submitted to the School of Magazineism and Communication of Xiamen University in partial fulfillment of requirements for the bachelors degree. Zhuang Hongming was faculty adviser. ABSTRACT Wang Shuo, the deputy editor of Caijing, a famous finance magazine for its specific editing style in China, said: “We are doing everything possible while the main line has never changed. We report events we think readers should focus on, and stories we consider to be important but not completely to follow market rules. It is not a magazine that simply caters to readers’ taste, but one that is of enlightenment, and of elitist thoughts. " "Independent, exclusive, original" is always the rule that Caijing has been following. Then how the magazine implements the rule successfully is what this research is concerned about, because in today’s chaotic magazine market, manage a magazine in a specific way is a problem related to survival and development.

...CRISOSTOMO, Jestine A. Age of Paperless Paper / Online newsroom When I was young, my mother taught me how to write on paper. Tracing letters to words and drawing of dog or a flower. When I was growing up, my teacher always want us to write essays, poems or even lectures on paper - back to back. Yeah, I had a tough time writing on paper but I do know that because of that experience, I learn how to write, to read, to compose and to draw or sketch. Paper is a thin sheet of a material made from fibers derived from wood or grass. A thin sheet that helped me molds the person that I am now and a thin sheet that gave me the knowledge that I have now. Through the years, paper is used as a medium to convey printed or written information such as books, magazines, newspaper, and etc. Today, the digitalization in the print industry leads to an assumption that the Age of paperless paper is coming.

Content: Background of the Problem When you adopt overseas you are indeed changing not only your life but the life of the adopted children. You are showing them what it is like to have a lovely home and a family that takes care about you. But why do some of these children still have a hard time adapting to it?

...1. What kind of paper is the National Enquirer? The National Enquirer is an American supermarket tabloid, which can be traced back to 1926. The paper was founded by William Griffin when he was given a loan by William Randolph Hearst to create the New York Evening Enquirer (Funding Universe, 2010). This paper was sold in New York City and as a partial repayment of Griffin’s loan, Hearst wanted to experiment new ideas in the Enquirer. Because of the unsuccessful articles published and antimilitary publications in World War II, sales never peaked. William Griffin later sold the tabloid magazine to Generoso Pope, Jr. Pope slowly decreased the amount of articles written about the war and added new columns that included worldwide events. In the early 1950s, the Enquirer started focusing on tales of murder, crimes, and confessions. Later, the paper added a gossip column, which assisted in raising sales of the magazine and by 1953, the Enquirer was considered a tabloid magazine (Funding Universe, 2010). The new gossip columns included stories about Elvis and other celebrities, in which they would write about scandals and betrayals. In 1957, the magazine was renamed the National Enquirer and by mid-1960s, the tabloid was available in retail chain stores across the United States. Before Pope died in 1988, the magazine was circulating throughout the United States and generating enormous profits, thus when Pope passed, many publishing companies bid for the opportunity to own the tabloid...

...What kind of paper is the National Enquirer? The National Enquirer is a tabloid founded by William Radolph Hearst in 1926. The magazine was originally known as the New York Enquirer and in 1952 was bought by Generoso Pope; Jr. Generoso Pope Jr. started setting up the magazine in supermarkets racks around the country in the 70's. The writings in the magazine do not measure up to journalistic values of a magazine like People magazine. The National Enquirer covers a wide variety of topics and news scoops, but most found this magazine to be offensive. It is mainly known for its articles about celebrities that are blown out of proportion or false. Still, the magazine is successful for the reason being it is an attention grabber, lurid and explicit. Was it ethical for the National Enquirer to try to avoid suit in California? The National Enquirer was entitled to eliminate their case to Federal Court being that this was a diversity of citizenship case and therefore formed simultaneous jurisdiction. The National Enquirer responded ethically possibly by business principles knowing that their income may reduce if sued in California, however they responded that their reporter was not concerned with the earnings of a business in a far-away state. I deem there was a breach on Ms. Jones’ civil rights and the National Enquirer printed knowing that it was possible to bring about some kind of damage to her. Are the defendants subject to suit in California? Why or why not? Yes, completely...

...newspapers and magazines ceasing publication, you may be asking yourself if print will survive. I don't have the answer. And, I'm not even sure it's the right question. Even when the global economy turns around, it's unlikely that we'll see the same number of magazines or newspapers. So, how will we consume print- or page-like content? Computers are the most obvious answer, but I think products like the Amazon Kindle 2 really point the way. You see, we have to prepare ourselves for a time when the majority of written works, whether in magazines, newspapers, short stories, or novels, are delivered electronically. I don't imagine that everyone believes the computer screen and Web page is the preferred format for the consumption of this kind of content. I know that industry analyst Tim Bajarin made the argument in a recent column that future generations of e-book readers will offer color screens (I guess that's a good thing), and he suggests that a copy of Harry Potter might benefit from having an embedded video clip from the movie. I disagree. When I want to read a novel, I want to read a novel. I don't need to be distracted by multimedia, or even color, to help me imagine the story. My mind is quite adept at painting a picture with the words I'm reading. For me, that's the allure of a good, rip-roaring novel. The minute that publishers start producing e-books with "enhancements," we'll witness the beginning of the end of that format for the written word. The good news is that we're...

First, I used Jennifer Holt’s “Ideal Women”, which focuses on the gendered stereotype of women during the 1950’s. Holt discusses the role of a women at this time as a “domestic caregiver” and how women held responsibility within the home and childcare. the article additionally, focuses on the idea of gender construction and how societies key role in this process.
