Nice first issue. I think the CMA world will welcome this kind of publication - ie a China-centred, in-depth journal on the CMA - though the vast majority of CMA peeps would probably want it dumbed down ("Technique of the week!" "New MA Movie Star shows off his kicks!" etc, etc). Please resist this temptation! There is enough crap in the sorry excuse we have for an MA media as it is.
Also, I would respectfully urge you NOT to take an overly reverential approach to your subject: There are many controversies and conflicts within the CMA world, and they should be addressed. IOW, make sure the magazine is journalism, not PR.
Also, I do wonder what your business model is...? MA magazines seem to lack revenue streams beyond subscribers and MA film and equipment advertizers - which means they are pretty lean earners.
But good job and good luck. I will be watching with interest. Thanks for the free first issue.
