My occupation is writing a local history and entertainment article for wechat description. My work time is relaxed and we just need to finish our article. And it’s more relaxable, maybe. My company is like a newspaper but my department is the new media department. Because now the media is more focused on the new media and many people don’t read newspaper like past time. They are not enthusiastic on paper reading maybe.

I work for an advertising company that releases articles regarding local shanghai history and entertainment. My  job requires me to write articles for We Chat. I’d say my job is pretty relaxed. I just have to make sure I finish my articles on time. My company is broken down into two separate departments. One of them is the newspaper side and the other is the new media side. Currently they are focusing more on the new media side because nowadays less and less people are reading newspapers.
