CCP State Media Justifies Propaganda on #JournalistsDay as Crackdown on Citizen Journalists Continue
Journalists in China are either part of state-owned propaganda or being imprisoned for criticising the government.
November 8 marks the Journalists’ Day in China. Most state-funded media published articles praising the work done by media workers.
In the party funded People’s Daily, several journalists were interviewed to talk about their work on the ground. Among them, one described their work as a "tribute to the [Chinese Communist] Party's centennial anniversary."
Hu Xijin, the editor-in-chief of the state-funded tabloid Global Times, tweeted that "journalists are part of state-owned propaganda."
Never mentioned on these official media were those independent journalists and citizen journalists who have been imprisoned, detained, or arrested for pursueing truths under the Chinese Communist Party’s (#CCP) rule.
Zhang Zhan, a Chinese citizen journalist and former lawyer, was sentenced in December 2020 to four years in jail for her reporting on CCP’s mishandling of the COVID-19 pandemic.
It has been confirmed that Huang Xueqin, a women's rights activist, and independent journalist, was being arrested.
