BEIJING, Nov 7 (Reuters) - One of the few independently funded English-language publications to cover China in depth for Western audiences, "The China Project", is to close because of a lack of funding, its editor-in-chief, Jeremy Goldkorn, wrote in a post.
The China Project, which began as a newsletter in 2016 and was formerly known as SupChina, expanded to become a "news and business intelligence company focused on helping a global audience understand China", it says on its website.
But as with a number of online-based media companies in recent years, such as Buzzfeed News, financing became a problem.
"The media business is precarious," Goldkorn wrote in a statement on the website.
The company sought to produce "balanced" reporting on China and U.S.-China-themed topics.
