Journalism students at Beijing Foreign Studies University have written their opinions of the arrest of New York Times researcher Zhao Yan on their weblog, We Observe the World. Their professor Joseph Bosco writes, “For the final exam of last semester’s ‘American Journalism’ class at the Beijing Foreign Studies University, I asked my 60 students to write an Op-Ed piece on the detention last September of Zhao Yan, a native Chinese journalist working as a researcher for the Beijing bureau of The New York Times… You can see for yourself what 20 year-old Chinese college students really think about ‘democracy’ and a ‘free press’ at WOW: We Observe the World, the blog and online news magazine written and produced by students of the Journalism Department at BFSU.” See their pieces here.
