The Mandarin Daily News is unique. It’s nota newspaper aimed for an audience of everyone; it’s a children’s newspaper!
That morning, when we arrived in the lobby of the Mandarin Daily News office, we were greeted with a sight of many milling people, and a book shop. After staring at our surroundings for a full 30 seconds, we were greeted by a representative who led us up to a meeting room and showed us an introductory movie about the Mandarin Daily News. After the movie, we were led on a tour of the building.
The Mandarin Daily News building isn’t just an office; it’s a learning place for kids. The top floor is a recreation floor for kids resting between lessons, and waiting adults. The other floors contain a library, a music corner, an Arts corner, and various other areas and corners. After the tour, we ambled into Ms. Feng, the editor-in-chief’s, office. We sat down on the various couches and chairs, and the interview began. We discovered that Ms. Feng highly prizes integrity, and that she was influenced by the former editor-in-chief to take her current job. She answered the questions quickly and precisely. After two rounds of questions, we took pictures, and then left for our other interview.
