Information openness on the media agenda - CMP

Panthera tigris amoyensis.via WikipediaThe China Media Project looks at the way Chinese media and government departments are dealing with the new requirements on "information openness", as it is called in the often murky translation of Chinese jargon.
Key point: the Chinese media take the now official requirement for government departments to release information very serious. The regulation took effect on May 1 and CMP sees a remarkable upsurge of the matter.
Information access continues to be an issue accompanying breaking news stories, most recently the Weng’an riots in Guizhou, and the Shaanxi Provincial Government’s coming clean over the South China Tiger scandal.
More cases at CMP.
