Blogs and China Correspondence, Survey Results – Rebecca MacKinnon

Last month I put out a survey of foreign correspondents who cover China to try and get a sense of how – and whether – blogs are impacting their coverage of China. Many thanks to the 70-plus journalists who took the time to complete at least part of the survey. Respondents included people from major news organizations headquartered in the U.S., UK, Singapore, Russia, Qatar, Poland, Italy, Hong Kong, Germany, France, Finland, Canada, and Australia.
