Wenzhou train collision- media control edit

Yes, you can recover what you write and put it back up. It was a bit strange to read. You have a good point about the goverment media control. It has been found on other, English speaking, Google news pages that the Chinese media is being controlled. I was personally, was only confused, and needed translations. It was removed by someone else too quickly.

Someone else has added this to the page and it covers Media control.Wipsenade (talk) 01:39, 26 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

Official media directives-

The Chinese authorities have been accused of attempting to silence reports into the cause of the crash. The Communist Party's propaganda department has reportedly ordered the media not to send reporters to the scene, not to report too frequently and not to link the story to high-speed rail development.[1][2] Reuters reported that the propaganda department issued directives to the nation's media instructing them to not question or elaborate on reports of the train crash. In their coverage, media were directed to promote the theme 'in the face of great tragedy, there's great love.'[3] Both the China_Digital_Times[4] and Boxun.com[5], had received attention from the Propaganda_Department_of_the_Communist_Party_of_China, saying they were required to do this.
