As an occasional contributor to That's Beijing The Beijinger, Imagethief heard a few days ago that the Chinese publisher has decided to appropriate the That's Beijing brand from True Run Media, the company that has actually run the magazine for the past several years. The magazine will continue under the name "The Beijinger". Presumably the old publisher, China Intercontinental Press, will develop a competing title under the That's Beijing brand. As a friend of the True Run guys, Imagethief urges you (sight unseen) to shun it.

At roughly the same time, another local English mag, Time Out, has found its July June English edition banned, as reported in the UK's Times. (The issue is available online.) If Imagethief was a superstitious type who believed that disasters come in threes, he'd be wondering when some misfortune was going to land on City Weekend's head.

Shanghaiist has a comprehensive review of both situations, as well as link to That's co-founder Mark Kitto's classic and entertaining tale of the dangers of the magazine business in China. Zhongnanhai also has some good info.

Not in print she doesn't. 

Update: Corrected which month of Time Out was affected. H/T: Reid.
