Reporters At A Mining Disaster – ESWN

From EastSouthWestNorth blog (link):

Five reporters from four different media organizations were trying to cover a mining disaster in Jilin province, China. During the process, a group of men blocked their way, followed them around and ultimately assaulted them in public. Please be mindful that there is an explicit law that makes it a crime to interfere with the reporting of matters of public interest such as mining accidents.

Now this is a somewhat unusual story because there were five reporters from four media organizations. Afterwards, the reporters went back and wrote their own stories. Two of these stories have been translated below. It shows you the action from the viewpoints of three different reporters on the same chaotic scene.
