Jornal Puxin

Written by Editors on .

Jornal Puxin (葡新報) was founded in 2005 by Ma Limei (馬麗梅), a Guangdong immigrant who initially worked in the service industry. Jornal Puxin initially focused on notices from the embassy, legal advice for Chinese immigrants, and local news. The paper has since gone bilingual, publishing in both Chinese and Portuguese, and has a wide digital presence across WeChat, Weibo, Facebook, Instagram, and X. According to recent profiles of Ma, Jornal Puxin’s turning point came in 2012 when she began participating in the United Front Work Department’s sponsored trips to China, particularly to Qinghai and Tibet. In 2014, emerging from a hiatus caused by financial struggles, the paper was “infused with new blood”: it hired new talent and established a Portuguese-language section, and its mission became “telling China’s story well.” According to Xinmin Evening News, the Portuguese edition of Jornal Puxin has “helped foreigners understand the true history and situation of Tibet and Xinjiang” by distributing materials and participating in exchange events with Portuguese journalists.

MIR Interstate Television and Radio Company

Written by Editors on .

The “Mir” Interstate Television and Radio Company (Мир), or МТРК, is a state-owned broadcasting consortium founded on October 9, 1992, when the heads of state of ten former Soviet republics signed an agreement in Bishkek establishing it as a joint media project of the Commonwealth of Independent States, an intergovernmental organization comprising states in the Eurasian region. The founding “shareholders” of “Mir,” which was organized as a closed joint-stock company, were Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus, Georgia, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Moldova, Russia, Tajikistan, and Uzbekistan. The company operates national branches and representative offices in nine CIS countries, including Belarus, alongside its Moscow headquarters, and broadcasts primarily in Russian. Its output today includes the television channels Mir and Mir 24, Radio Mir, and the online portal MIR24.TV, which the broadcaster describes as covering the political, economic, and humanitarian cooperation of CIS member states and helping preserve a shared post-Soviet information space. In April 2023, Moldova’s government revoked the intergovernmental agreement governing Mir’s operation in the country, part of a wider distancing from CIS-era arrangements with Russia following its full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Government spokesman Daniel Voda said at the time that Moldova “will no longer finance propaganda and disinformation,” referring to Mir’s coverage of the war.
