The Nanjinger arose from a dream that a city with a history as long, and a status as important, as Nanjing, deserves a world-class English media outlet. Beginning life in 2009 and evolving into being the city’s English media of record, The Nanjinger brings the international and English-speaking community a wide and varied selection of news and features about Nanjing, its surrounding area, and Chinese culture, while adhering to international journalistic standards as to both impartiality and objectivity.
