Reporters without borders: China
The dedicated section of the Reporters Without Borders online resource
on China monitors freedoms of the press and of conscience in the
People's Republic. Reporters Without Borders is an international
organisation that campaigns against censorship and for journalists who
suffer discrimination and imprisonment in the course of their work.
From the main page, users can access an archive of news stories on
China, many of which contain multimedia elements. The resource also
includes more extended 'mission reports', on topics such as: the Xinhua
official news agency; internet censorship; and the use of internet
forums as means of expression in China.
The resource would be of interest to anyone following the portrayal of
China in the international media. Its up to date collection of reports
on government censorship and new media use are an informative, easy to
navigate introduction to the sensitive topic of freedom of speech and
human rights in China.
