Making sustained efforts for deeper media integration
According to Mr. Guan Hong, new progress was delivered in Chongqing Daily News Group ("the Group") last year. The Group's multimedia has reached an audience of over 350 million. "Shangyou Cloud" has been built, and the downloads of the Shangyou News App exceeded 25 million. The Group has initiated and completed the construction of media centers in 12 districts and counties in Chongqing.
This year, the Group will renew its efforts for better-integrated development of media.
Three key projects to accelerate cultural development in Chongqing
In 2020, the Group will continue to focus on social benefits, give better play to the strength of media, and harness Chongqing National Advertising Industry Park, Chongqing (International) Cultural Industry Expo, and other platforms. With the following three critical projects as growth engines, it seeks to contribute more to the faster development of the cultural industry in Chongqing, said Mr. Guan Hong.
Project I is the construction of Phase IV of Chongqing National Advertising Industry Park. At this point, 600-plus enterprises have settled down in Chongqing National Advertising Industry Park, generating output value over 4.5 billion yuan. The objective is to house over 1,000 enterprises by 2021, with output totaling 10 billion yuan. Meanwhile, efforts will be made to build Phase V of the Park.
Project II is T23 Fashion Town. It will be built into a new landmark featuring upgraded urban projects, combining airport service consumption, fashion display and exchange, high-end experience consumption, and new business forms. It is expected that Phase I will be completed and opened within this year.
Project III is to shape new highlights of hot spring and mountain-based health maintenance in Chongqing.
By boosting the cultural industry, the Group aims to grow up to a new media group with great capacity of communication, guidance, influence, and credibility on an early date, noted by Mr. Guan Hong.
