Q&A China's Newspaper Industry
Posted: 1/15/2013 | By: BBC News

Employees of Southern Weekly, a Guangdong based newspaper also known as Southern Weekend, staged a protest and asked for the top propaganda official to step down.
The dispute was later resolved but the tussle over press freedom has shone a spotlight on the industry as a whole.
