Shi Tao wins prize in South Africa


Shi Tao

Our internet nanny was making overtime tonight when the news broke that the Chinese journalist Shi Tao has won, the Golden Pen, a price at the conference of the World Association of Newspapers (WAN) in South Africa. Shi Tao was jailed by the Chinese authorities for doing his work as a journalist with the help of Yahoo.
In this case I could see why nanny got upset, but it is the first time that I could not get any links to the issue. Also, my proxies did not work. Anyway, we have the most important news, so even a nanny in the highest alert cannot stop the news.

Update I: Got some links here now.
Update II: Got through to the original post by Rebecca MacKinnon.
