China not in top ten of censored countriesPosted by Jeremy Goldkorn, May 4, 2006 12:24 AM
The Committee to Protect Journalists (based in New York) has released a list of the ten most censored countries in the world. They are: 1. North Korea Each country in the top ten is described in three sections: Leader, How Censorship Works, and Lowlights. Reading through the list is a good idea for people writing about and researching censorship issues in China. The whole article is here. But while on the subject of censorship, it is depressing to note that Technorati appears to be completely blocked in China. |
