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.
