Shutting journalists out

gives BBC's James Reynolds reports from the earthquake zone in Sichuan about the efforts of the authorities to keep reporting in check, especially on the collapse of the schools and the protests of the parents.
China's media have already been told to shut up about the issue, and most comply. Foreign journalists are getting increasingly a hard time, are being detained. Officially they can report freely in the months ahead of the Beijing Olympics, but just like Tibet, the earthquake zone has its own rules.
The reporters made it in the end to the parents:

They told us they were deeply demoralised by their confrontation with the police. One mother showed us some fresh bruises on her arm - she told us she got them when the police dragged her away from the school (she'd been trying to pick up her son's photo). One father shouted angrily that all he'd wanted to do was honour his son. Another father said that he believed the parents' chances of achieving justice were now almost nil.

Update: Of course, the debate online just continues. Danwei gives an overview.
