Mongolian Tibetan Weekly Newsletter (གཟའ་འཁོར་རེའི་བོད་སོག་གསར་གནས་)

This important newsletter was published by the Mongolian and Tibetan Affairs Commission of the Kuomintang in Nanjing (for a while in Chongqing) from 1929 until the late 1940s. Next to the Newspaper in Colloquial Tibetan (བོད་ཡིག་ཕལ་སྐད་ཀྱི་གསར་འགྱུར་), it is yet another expression of the importance the Kuomintang gave to media work. Started as a weekly publication, its frequency changed to biweekly and eventually monthly. Main editor was the Tibetan Kuomintang-member Kelsang Tsering.
