Front Page of the Day
There's no rush to join the crowdsPosted by Joel Martinsen, February 1, 2008 6:11 PM
A striking layout marks the cover of today's Information Times. The headline reads: A strong appeal from the Guangzhou Spring Festival Transportation Office and Guangzhou Rail: Travellers should not come to the train station before their departure date. Why? There's no more room, as shown in accompanying photo. In other weather-related news, the first headline at the bottom of the page announces that bottled gas in the city has risen in price again, from 113 to 115 yuan per canister. Prices may fall once the festival is over and transporation returns to normal. In non-weather-related news, the second headline at the bottom of the page announces that Guangzhou has reclaimed 40 million yuan worth of social security money, following extensive investigations into prices and appropriations. And that's it. See the China Media Project for further analysis of recent mainland media coverage of the bad weather and paralyzed transportation system.
