Jeremy Goldkorn (Chinese: 金玉米; Pinyin: Jīn Yùmǐ; born in Johannesburg) is a South African-American editor who lives in Nashville, United States. He is the editor-in-chief of The China Project and co-hosts the Sinica Podcast with Kaiser Kuo. He was the founder of Danwei, a China-focused blog and media research firm.

He graduated from the University of Cape Town with a Bachelor of Arts (Honors) in Literature.[1] Prior to founding Danwei, he worked for several Beijing-based magazines, including Beijing Scene,[2] TimeOut[3] and technology magazine ReDegg,[4] and as business development manager for Beijing design firm Standards Group.[1]

Danwei, which is named after the Chinese term for a work unit, is considered to be a well-read China-focused "bridge blog" that translates Chinese language media articles into English.[5] John Lanchester has written that "Danwei gives a range of sources, news and opinions on China that no mainstream news organisation can match."[6] Danwei has collaborated with the Australian Centre on China in the World at the Australian National University to archive China media articles for research purposes since 2010.[7] Danwei was blocked in mainland China in 2009.[8][9]

In early 2013, Goldkorn sold Danwei to the Financial Times.[10]

Goldkorn has spoken frequently about Chinese media and Internet culture, including at the University of Sydney[11] and Columbia Law School,[12] and in interviews with Frontline,[13] the Australia Network[14] and the Asia Society.[15] He also regularly co-hosts the Sinica current affairs podcast with Kaiser Kuo.
