Blog Weekly: China’s New Media
A NEW Media revolution in China. Well, no. But there’s a state-controlled mag:
Mention “participatory media,” and what comes to mind are blog conventions, crowd-sourced op-ed columns, Twitter feeds from disaster zones, and citizen journalists typing out eyewitness accounts of local, breaking situations. A slick, full-color magazine sponsored by a state media group does not.
Enter Blog Weekly (博客天下), a new biweekly magazine that uses China’s army of bloggers to report on current events.

Indeed; the sort of freedom of speech that says you can discuss anything you like provided it is not in any way controversial, difficult, worrying or less than cheerful.
I’m sure that China is positively bulging with people who wish to do just that, not least because the chances of a one way ticket to a labour camp are thus greatly reduced…
