Weekend supplements, "be"



“ be” is made up of 24 pages in total, divided into three different sections. “b” the business section and “e” the entertainment section are issued every Saturday. “b” targets business people while “e” aims at reaching the general households. In 2005, Sunday “be” was newly added, which is issued every Sunday featuring science, technology, and healthy lifestyle. The life & science section is reaching out to the readers who are highly keen on health and environmental issues. We offer combined advertising opportunities of print and online.
