DIARY: My media - Conrad Chiu, chief executive of Market Catalyst International, based in Hong Kong

<p>Television </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>CNN and Cable News for keeping abreast of what goes on around the world </p><p>and here in Hong Kong. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Movies for entertainment. Occasionally I watch Cartoon Network's Johnny </p><p>Bravo and all-time classic Popeye with my two boys. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Press </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Financial Times for international news. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>I read Apple Daily to keep myself up to speed with what is unique about </p><p>Hong Kong. One does not want to be caught completely clueless in a </p><p>chitchat! </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>I like The Economist for more in-depth reports and analysis, </p><p>Architectural Digest and National Geographic for interest - and for </p><p>man-made and natural wonders. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Websites </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>I access various bank and investment sites for online banking. Yahoo for </p><p>a wide variety of topics for browsing. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>I also turn to Adcritic.com for the latest review of creative works. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Advertising </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Volkswagen - I like the surprise element in the series. It's refreshing </p><p>and more importantly, relevant. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>I have also enjoyed the Budweiser "Whassup" campaign. Its strong empathy </p><p>with beer drinkers has captured my attention. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Audi Quattro's recent campaign offers a great product demonstration. </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Radio </p><p><BR><BR> </p><p>Albert Cheng's Talk Show in the morning while I am driving to see which </p><p>government department is stuck in the mud. </p><p><BR><BR> </p>
