ChinaSpike is dedicated to reinventing the outdated paradigms of our news culture and building a brave new understanding of news. We relish all truly parodist materials, whether they be psydeo-scholarly probes into the decline of civilization, entertainment forays into the concrete forests, sci-fi carpet rides into cyberspace or humorous spoofs about commercial culture. More than anything, we seek compelling ideas that further the critical perspective and offer amusing solutions. Our language is culture jamming, the common thread is an urge to poke fun at the homogeneous nature of popular culture. In sum, the news not fit to print.
Our audience is global. Our content is Asia-centric with an emphasis on Greater China. We are neither left nor right, but bent. Many of our readers are serious movers on the academic, entrepreneurial, technical, and communications fronts or will be once they discover us.
Editorial Guidelines
- Read our content before submitting any ideas.
- Send us your parodic pieces about the mainstream news environment, your features, newsbytes and culture jams from around Asia.
- The perfect submission offers a fresh angle on Asian news; it could be cultural analysis, the follies of big business, big celebrities or big government, a new culture jam, anything based on the madness of the modern world, a ticklish mindbomb, or a quirky piece about tree frogs.
- Do not submit a 1,200-word thinkpiece about how bad the traffic is, or why ‘blank’ is a terrible president.
- If we like your idea we will be in touch. Be patient.
