Shandong Media Joint Venture Cooperation Agreement Additional Payment [Abstract]  
Shandong Media Joint Venture
6.            Shandong Media Joint Venture
 
In connection with the Shandong Newspaper Cooperation Agreement, based on certain financial performance thresholds we were required to make an additional payment of RMB 5,000,000 (approximately US $781,800) to Shandong Media.  In 2008, we recorded the additional payment due as an increase to our Shandong Media non-controlling interest account.

During January 2012, the Company, via Jinan Zhong Kuan, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (“MOU”) with Shandong Broadcast and Modern Movie whereby upon execution of a formal agreement the Company will be relieved of its obligation to make the additional payment of RMB 5,000,000 (approximately US $781,800) described above in exchange for payment of RMB 1,000,000 (approximately US $157,270) to Shandong Media and the transfer of 20% of the Company's 50% ownership interest in Shandong Media to Shandong Broadcast and Modern Movie.

As of the date of this report, a formal agreement  to transfer 20% of the Company's 50% ownership interest in Shandong Media to Shandong Broadcast and Modern Movie had not been executed and the VIE structure under which the Company controls Shandong Media remains in place.  As such, the RMB 5,000,000 additional payment due remains recorded as an increase to our Shandong Media non-controlling interest account and the Company continues to control and consolidate Shandong Media at December 31, 2011.
