''The Beijinger'' is a free monthly listings and entertainment website and magazine produced by True Run Media in Beijing, China. It was launched in October 2001 as ''that's Beijing'' and began as a print magazine under the auspices of Mark Kitto, the then publisher of ''that's Shanghai'', and a succession of local publishers and government sponsors, including the Yangzhou Cultural Bureau, China Newsweek and China Intercontinental Press (CIP). In 2004, Mark Kitto was ousted from the company by China Intercontinental Press (a commercial publishing venture under the State Council of Information) and ''that's Shanghai'' was taken over by the then Sales Manager and Finance Manager under the supervision of China Intercontinental Press. True Run Media refused to join the co-conspirators in Shanghai, and under a separate agreement with the China Intercontinental Press, began producing ''that's Beijing'' independently. In August 2008, China Intercontinental Press made a move to assume the title and complete control of the production and sales operations of ''that's beijing''. The state-owned publisher began publishing its own version of ''that's Beijing'' shortly thereafter. True Run Media thus relaunched the original ''that's Beijing'' magazine as ''the Beijinger'' and continued publishing uninterrupted (the website formerly known as "www.thatsbj.com" was renamed "(www.thebeijinger.com )" prior to this in anticipation of CIP's inevitable move). Today True Run Media continues to produce ''the Beijinger'' under a publishing arrangement with the Yunnan-based title "Ecological Economy." As of November 2013, the website has over 220,000 registered users and averages over 192,000 unique visits monthly. The print magazine has a monthly circulation of 35,000 copies and is distributed for free at over 850 venues around Beijing. True Run Media also produces ''beijingkids'' magazine (www.beijing-kids.com) and (website ), ''JingKids'' magazine and (website ). The magazine's online presence is particularly handy for expats looking to network with other like-minded foreigners since it offers free access to both the discussion boards as well as the classifieds sections upon account registration. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Beijinger」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
