Press Release
Glory Star expected to further increase profitability
Glory Star New Media Group, a Nasdaq-listed digital media platform and content-driven e-commerce company in China, is expected to be able to further increase its profitability with its growing market share and economy of scale.
The company reported a 15.8% growth in its Non-GAAP net income to US$16.9 million for the six-months ended June 30 from US$14.6 million in the same period of last year.
During the first half of this year, the company’s total revenues grew 144.6% to US$71.9 million from US$29.4 million, thanks to the increase in advertising revenues and Cheers e-Mall marketplace service revenue, primarily attributable to the development and promotion of its mobile and online businesses.
Income from operations surged 40.9% to US$16.2 million from US$11.5 million.
During the first half year of 2021, the company successfully grew its top and bottom lines as it allocated more resources to sales and marketing to augment its brand equity and fuel its long-term growth engine.
The company’s rising economy of scale will allow it to gradually reduce operating expenses and capitalize on the rising popularity of video content and deliver lasting shareholder value.
At the end of June 30, the number of downloads of the company’s Cheers App reached 215.6 million, up from 121 million a year earlier. The increase in the number, a key indicator of the attractiveness and usability of its Cheers App and its e-Mall platform traffic, showed that it had successfully converted viewers of its content to its Cheers App.
Average daily active users (DAUs) of the app grew to 7.1 million from 4.5 million for the same period. Stock Keeping Units (SKUs) on its Cheers e-Mall platform jumped to 231,630 from 19,984.
Gross Merchandise Value (GMV) of the Cheers App reached US$181.2 million in the first six months of this year, compared with US$20 million in the same period of 2020. The increase in GMV was driven significantly by its ability to attract and retain users to its Cheers App through its professionally produced content and its ability to further enhance its product offerings.
The company has a strong commitment to its corporate mission, meticulous execution of growth strategies, methodical expansion in both overseas and domestic markets, proactive engagement of Generation Z users through innovative products, and prudent investment in sales and marketing initiatives. It plans to refine its competitive edge in content-driven e-commerce of premium lifestyle, deepen our expertise in integrating quality content with lifestyle commerce, and expand our brand influence among Generation Z consumers on a global basis.
During the first half year, the resurgence of Covid-19 and its Delta variant caused the Chinese government to impose travel restrictions within mainland China, particularly in the southern regions of the country.
The company temporarily suspended the production of its traditional “Cheers Series” TV programs, thus resulting in a decline in its cost of revenues during the first six month of 2021. Once the travel restrictions are eased, the company will resume its content production activities in the second half of this year.
As of June 30, 2021, the company had cash and cash equivalents of US$20.3 million, compared with US$17.7 million at the end of last year.
Blockchain and AI technologies
Since its establishment in 2016, Glory Star has pioneered a unique, new business model integrating e-commerce services with premium video content. With the use of blockchain and AI technologies in its systems, the company has become a leading online digital media and entertainment company in China, with a strong track record both in terms of viewership and production capabilities. The company launched its Cheers App in 2018 to integrate e-commerce services with professionally generated content (PGC).
During the first half, the company produced many more live streaming shows and started to provide title sponsor advertising services at a higher price point. It also spent substantially on the development of the Cheers Chat and Cheers Car.
The company plans to provide more user-generated content (UGC) by forming partnerships with other platforms. It will allow global users to upload their content to its video platforms in the fourth quarter of this year while users will receive advertising revenue or get rewards from viewers directly.
The company will also allow content providers to use its software-as-a-service (SaaS) supply chain system with the blockchain technology that will help them match with relevant merchandisers. Content providers will be able to share the revenue from the sales of products on their video accounts.
The company’s ability to integrate premium lifestyle content, including short videos, online variety shows, online dramas, live streaming, its Cheers lifestyle video series, e-Mall, and mobile app, along with innovative e-commerce offerings on its platform enables it to pursue its mission of enriching people’s lives.
Its large and active user base has created valuable engagement opportunities with consumers and enhanced platform stickiness with thousands of domestic and international brands.
Non-fungible token
Glory Star’s Naschain platform offers one-stop solutions, which include smart contract, multichain universe and cross-chain consensus mechanisms, to users with its blockchain technology. It can help e-shoppers trace the origins of the products, avoid buying counterfeit goods, lower their logistics costs and protect their privacy.
The company has signed an agreement with the Beijing Minsheng Art Museum to use the company’s non-fungible token (NFT) technology, which can be used in copy-rights’ registration, verification, transaction and valuation, to protect the intellectual property of the museum’s artworks. The company will be able to boost its market share by acquiring some NFT service providers.

10,800+ dental practice listings will help members of underserved communities find trustworthy dental services while providing an efficient, accurate information source for insurers, employers, and state-level access programs
United States, 29th Jun 2026 — Dental.me, the independent dentist directory, today announced the publication of the first-ever fully verified list of dentists in the state of Florida. The list, which contains detailed information on 10,807 dental practices in 247 Florida cities, will help members of underserved communities find trustworthy dental services while providing an efficient, accurate information source for insurers, employers, and state-level access programs.
“Until now, there was no single resource that covered every dental practice in every Florida city,” explained Spencer Whiteclaw, CEO of Dental.me. “The information that was available tended to be incomplete, out of date, or inaccurate. Online listings are often opaque. A practice that’s been shuttered for two years still shows up at the top of search rankings, and so forth. That’s the problem we’re solving with this new list.”
The list organizes dental practices by city and specialty so potential patients can compare them on the details that matter, e.g., location, services, hours, public ratings, and the completeness of listings. Dental.me makes practice verification an essential element of its listings. “Patients get the truth. Practices get a clean lane to claim their own listings,” Whiteclaw added. The verification process is manual and painstaking.
The company invested effort and resources in developing a comprehensive list of dental practices covering smaller towns and urban neighborhoods where high-integrity data on dental services has traditionally been in short supply. The listings cover dental practices from Pensacola in the Panhandle to Key West, and from Belle Glade and Clewiston in the agricultural interior to the dense urban corridors of South Florida.

Coffee Journal, an independent South African specialty coffee publication founded by Bibi Burness
Randvaal Meyerton, Gauteng, South Africa, 29th Jun 2026 – Coffee Journal, an independent South African specialty coffee publication founded by Bibi Burness, announced the publication of its new 50-stop South Africa coffee shop guide, a nationwide editorial feature that spotlights specialty cafes, roasteries and coffee-growing estates across all nine provinces. First published June 18 and presented as a living resource for coffee travelers and local readers, the feature is designed to widen the conversation beyond the country’s largest coffee hubs and toward a more geographically representative view of South African specialty coffee.
The article frames the project as a bucket-list style guide rather than a leaderboard. According to the published methodology inside the feature, every province receives a place on the list, while the country’s biggest coffee cities are capped to make room for smaller towns, regional roasteries and farm destinations. The article states that Cape Town entries were capped at five, Johannesburg at five and Durban at three, a structure intended to create room for coffee destinations in places such as the Karoo, the Midlands, the Soutpansberg and the Port Edward area.
That editorial choice gives the release a clear news angle: a new national coffee guide that deliberately shifts attention away from metro-heavy ranking formats. In practice, the list becomes part travel guide, part editorial map and part discovery tool for readers who want to understand how specialty coffee is distributed across the country. By treating coffee as both a hospitality category and a regional culture story, Coffee Journal positions the feature as relevant to consumers, tourism stakeholders, roasters and destination businesses alike.
The feature also sets out defined selection criteria. The article says the list favors specialty over chains and story over hype, with priority given to venues that offer a compelling reason to travel, including working roasteries, award-winning baristas, distinctive cafe environments and coffee farms where visitors can engage with production more directly. The guide highlights three coffee-growing estates in particular — Beaver Creek in Port Edward, Sabie Valley in White River and Citimba in Louis Trichardt — presenting them as rare opportunities to experience South African coffee from the tree rather than only in the cup.
The guide is not presented as a closed editorial product. Instead, Coffee Journal invites readers to leave Traveller Notes, submit Go or Don’t-go verdicts and suggest shops that deserve inclusion in future updates. That built-in feedback layer gives the article continuing editorial relevance after publication and creates a transparent mechanism for expansion. It also supports return visits by encouraging readers to contribute practical details such as what to order, what to expect and which overlooked destinations should move into the next round of coverage.
Coffee Journal’s broader editorial platform strengthens the release’s credibility. The publication describes itself as independent, South Africa-based and not funded by roasters or brand partnerships, while its site includes consumer education tools such as the grind guide, city-based coffee coverage including Cape Town coffee roasters, and a published explanation of how Coffee Journal scores SA specialty roasters. Together, those resources position the new list inside a wider editorial ecosystem focused on coffee discovery, home brewing and transparency.
The article also includes a statement from Burness that captures the editorial rationale behind the project: “Every province in this country has someone quietly roasting extraordinary coffee. You just have to go looking.” That line gives the release a concise, fact-based quote already published on the site and ties the guide to a broader message about under-recognized regional talent in South African coffee.
For the specialty coffee sector, the list may be significant because it organizes discovery around national spread rather than density in a handful of cities. Many coffee roundups concentrate heavily on Cape Town and Johannesburg. Coffee Journal’s structure takes a different approach by making provincial representation part of the editorial rule itself. That approach can improve visibility for smaller operators and lesser-covered areas while also giving travelers a clearer sense of how coffee culture appears across multiple regions, not just established urban centers.
The release also aligns with Coffee Journal’s identity as a specialty coffee publication that combines editorial curation with practical user participation. Its homepage presents the brand as a place to track espresso, discover South African roasters and learn the craft, while the about page says the publication was founded in 2026 to create a central home for the country’s specialty coffee scene. In that context, the 50-stop guide functions as both a standalone article and a strategic content asset that complements the site’s directories, brew guides and transparency-based reporting.
The new feature is now available on the Coffee Journal website, where readers can browse the full list, review province-by-province selections and contribute notes for future updates. Additional coverage of South African roasters, brewing resources and editorial coffee guides is available through Coffee Journal.
