China Daily will publish the official English newspaper for the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic Games, as well as Village News — the official newspaper of the Beijing Olympic and Paralympic villages — according to a new agreement.

Jiang Xiaoyu, executive vice-president of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the Games of the XXIX Olympiad (BOCOG), and Zhu Ling, editor-in-chief of China Daily, signed the contract on behalf of their organizations.

China Daily — the only national English-language newspaper in the country — will expand The Olympian, its current weekly journal in the run-up to the Olympic and Paralympic Games, by up to 48 pages daily during the Games.

Some 31,600 journalists are expected in Beijing to cover the Games.
