Hu Shuli gets top job at News Magazine

Former Caijing head, two others to join general news publication

Nearly two months after she quit Caijing in a huff, Hu Shuli has been offered the top job at News Magazine, a little-known general news publication started in 1988 by a think tank focused on economic reform.

The 56-year-old Hu, along with two former high-level editors at Caijing, will effectively run the magazine, Hu's company, Caixin Media, and the Hainan-based China Institute for Reform and Development (CIRD), which owns the general news publication, separately told China Daily yesterday.
