It's not every day that a magazine publishes its 100th issue—but Middle Earth's distributor, The World of Chinese, has reached this important milestone after 17 years of publication. We want to look at how an English-language magazine based in Beijing sustains itself and evolves into a multimedia platform (including podcasts) for human-centered stories from China.
Featuring
- Hatty Liu: TWOC - Former managing editor 2019-2023
- Liu Jue: TWOC - co-managing editor
- Doug Hughes: International education expert
