Visitors attend the opening of the world's biggest indoor theme park Ferrari World in Abu Dhabi (October 27,2010). A third Ferrari theme park has been confirmed for China.

The third Ferrari [NYSE:RACE] theme park has been confirmed for China.

The new park will join existing Ferrari-themed parks in Abu Dhabi (Ferrari World) and Barcelona, Spain (Ferrari Land). A location is yet to be announced, though we can confirm it will be one of the “primary cities" in Mainland China.

The parks aren’t actually owned or operated by Ferrari but rather by outside firms under license. For the new park, Ferrari has entered a non-binding agreement with state-owned Chinese automaker BAIC.

Licensing its brand has been a growing source of income for Ferrari which has tended to limit production of cars in the interest of exclusivity, although that is starting to change. Seeking avenues of growth are now more important than ever for Ferrari which has seen its share price slide since its IPO late last year. One of the reasons for the slide was concerns about lower sales growth forecasts for the coming years.

Dear Reader,

About a year ago, I happened upon this statement about the Monitor in the Harvard Business Review – under the charming heading of “do things that don’t interest you”:

“Many things that end up” being meaningful, writes social scientist Joseph Grenny, “have come from conference workshops, articles, or online videos that began as a chore and ended with an insight. My work in Kenya, for example, was heavily influenced by a Christian Science Monitor article I had forced myself to read 10 years earlier. Sometimes, we call things ‘boring’ simply because they lie outside the box we are currently in.”

If you were to come up with a punchline to a joke about the Monitor, that would probably be it. We’re seen as being global, fair, insightful, and perhaps a bit too earnest. We’re the bran muffin of journalism.

But you know what? We change lives. And I’m going to argue that we change lives precisely because we force open that too-small box that most human beings think they live in.

The Monitor is a peculiar little publication that’s hard for the world to figure out. We’re run by a church, but we’re not only for church members and we’re not about converting people. We’re known as being fair even as the world becomes as polarized as at any time since the newspaper’s founding in 1908.

We have a mission beyond circulation, we want to bridge divides. We’re about kicking down the door of thought everywhere and saying, “You are bigger and more capable than you realize. And we can prove it.”

If you’re looking for bran muffin journalism, you can subscribe to the Monitor for $15. You’ll get the Monitor Weekly magazine, the Monitor Daily email, and unlimited access to CSMonitor.com.
