Jeremy Goldkorn

Jeremy Goldkorn founded the China media website Danwei.org, and acts as editor and publisher. The site has tracked the changes in China’s media and Internet on an almost daily basis since 2003.  A native of South Africa, Goldkorn moved to China in 1995. He has lived in a workers dormitory, ridden a bicycle across Xinjiang and Tibet, and spent the last decade working in the Chinese media, advertising and Internet industries. He produced the documentary African Boots of Beijing. He is frequently profiled in the Chinese media, while the Western press regularly solicit his views on media regulation, Internet business, freedom of expression, and the habits of young Chinese Internet users (see our press coverage page). Goldkorn is a regular public speaker at both Chinese- and English-language conferences and events.
