A friend of mine, a journalist with impeccable credentials, went to work for Alibaba’s in-house content. Totally different set up. Transparent, obviously there to support corporate but by adding genuine content in areas important to its customers, eg high end retailers, rather than stories about alibaba itself. Growing e-commerce rather than cheerleading the company.
Great piece and analysis. Spot on!
"It’s far better to say, “We work at Tencent and here’s our insider take” than to pretend you’re objective when you’re not."
Quite frankly, someone named "Tencent Insider" would get more subscribers than "Tenchnology".
Cool article. I'd like to see more like this.
