Journalists divided over condemnation – Simon Parry

From the South China Morning Post, via Asia Media:

Overseas journalists working in Shanghai have issued a statement condemning the violence in Taishi and the attacks on pro-democracy activist Lu Banglie and on reporters covering the unrest.

However, the statement from the 140-member Foreign Correspondents’ Club was only issued after heated debate among members over whether it should include criticism of Benjamin Joffe-Walt’s report in The Guardian.
