国极具知名度的编辑胡舒立开始执掌一家规模较小的杂志，此前她和老东家《财经》杂志在经费及编辑政策上的争执致使她本人及手下多数编辑集体辞职。现年56岁、曾将《财经》打造成中国最富进取意识杂志的胡舒立开始执掌《新世纪周刊》。该杂志的主管单位中国海南改革发展研究院在一份声明中公布了该任命。

在过去20年中，报导争议话题已经成了胡舒立的标志。早在《工人日报》任职时期她就以揭露丑恶现象而闻名；《工人日报》是一份党报，曾经报导过一些敏感话题。1998年，她和出身高干、颇具改革思想的王波明共同创立了《财经》杂志，这本杂志因报导腐败现象以及政府在2003年掩饰非典疫情而在国际上受到关注。
胡舒立和王波明在今年10月份分道扬镳。此前，胡舒立说王波明并未给她的杂志在积极报导新闻时所必须的政治保护。她还说《财经》现在已成为王波明手下财讯传媒集团有限公司(SEEC Media Group Ltd.)的摇钱树，但杂志本身却面临资金不足的问题。
王波明否认了这些指责，他说自己已经给予了《财经》在挖掘新闻时所需的保护。王波明现率领新的编辑团队继续出版《财经》杂志。
《新世纪周刊》或许前途难测，但它给予了胡舒立重启出版事业所急需的东西：刊号，即政府给予刊物的出版许可。刊号的发放受到政府部门严格限制，而且能否获得刊号一直被视做胡舒立将面临的重大挑战之一。
截至发稿时，记者未能联系到胡舒立发表评论。不过，据胡舒立下属透露，她在周三时对员工表示有足够的资金将《新世纪周刊》打造成为一个锐意进取的全国性杂志。她的员工在过去两个月中一直正常领薪，并一直在北京中央商务区租用的办公楼里上班。

Hu Shuli, one of China's best-known editors, is taking charge of a small journal after disputes over money and editorial policy caused her and most of her staff to leave her previous magazine.
Ms. Hu, the 56-year-old journalist who turned Caijing into China's most aggressive publication, will take the helm of New Century News, which is run out of an economics institute in the remote island province of Hainan, according to a statement from the organization that owns the magazine.
Turning New Century News into another Caijing is likely to be a challenge. The revamped magazine will be launched quickly -- a trial version is due out Jan. 4 with regular newsstand sales to start one week after -- but the publication is an unprofitable academic journal. Although Ms. Hu brought about 70 of her staff with her, it is also unclear if the magazine's owner, the China Institute for Reform and Development in Hainan, will have the clout to protect Ms. Hu should New Century News tackle controversial issues.
That has been Ms. Hu's trademark over the past 20 years. She was known as a muckraking journalist at Worker's Daily, a newspaper run by the Communist Party that for a while tackled sensitive issues. In 1998, she and Wang Boming, a reform-minded scion of a powerful family, launched Caijing, bringing it to international prominence with articles about corruption and a government coverup of the SARS pandemic in 2003.
The two split this past October after Ms. Hu said Mr. Wang failed to give her magazine the political protection it needed to aggressively report the news. She also said Caijing had been a cash cow for Mr. Wang's SEEC Media Group and was starved of funds.
Mr. Wang denied the charges, saying he had given the magazine the cover it needed to make its scoops. He has continued to publish Caijing with a new staff.
The new publication might be obscure, but it gives Ms. Hu something she badly needs to restart her publishing career: a 'kanhao,' or publication number, which is essentially a government license to run a publication. The number of kanhaos is strictly limited by authorities and getting one was seen as one of Ms. Hu's main challenges.
Ms. Hu wasn't available for comment, but, according to staff members, she told staffers Wednesday that she has enough funding to turn New Century News into an aggressive, national magazine. Her staff has been paid regularly over the past two months and has been working in rented offices in Beijing's Central Business District.
