New Gig: Global Post

January 19, 2009 | Category: China

It’s been a long time since I posted anything here and a big reason is a new job I’ve taken as the China multimedia correspondent for Global Post. For those who don’t know about it (and I imagine that’s most of you), GP is a new online news venture founded by Charlie Sennot, ex of the Boston Globe, and Phil Balboni, a journalism business whiz who made his name with New England Cable News. The idea is fill the gaping hole left with the closing of foreign news bureaus over the past few years. You can read more about it here and here.

My first report for them is a video on how people in Beijing see the United States in light of Barack Obama’s election victory, part of a series called “For Which It Stands” outlining the international challenges Obama will face once he takes the oath. Have a gander and let me know what you think:

    Amazing. I wonder if a cross-section of Americans would even know who Hu Jintao is.
