Shanghai Daily’s media workshops, “Andy’s Workshop” and “Qiao Shanghai”, have been selected as “seeds” of the Shanghai United Media Group along with 18 other workshops out of more than 270 others within the media group.

These “lead players” from media outlets like Jiefang Daily, Xinmin Evening News and Wenhui Daily have been introduced to several prominent third-party platforms.

This is part of the group’s efforts to support the Media Workshops, which will select a group of “seed players” in areas such as civil affairs, business, science and technology and international communications and support them in operations, technology and training.

Andy Workshop is led by Andy Boreham, a foreign expert from the Shanghai Daily. She has released six episodes of her “China Reports” series and more than 10 short videos, which have reached more than 3.6 million netizens and have been viewed more than 3 million times.

His videos refute some foreign media’s rumors about China’s epidemic prevention and control work with facts.

Qiao Shanghai is a workshop of Michelle Qiao, a columnist on the city’s historic architecture at the Shanghai Daily. He produces videos about the stories of old buildings in Shanghai.
