China’s new media regulations, concerning the press cards, will go into effect on March 1, the General Administration of Press and Publication, the country’s press watchdog, said in Beijing on February 16.
Nearly 150,000 journalists throughout the country have so far received the newly designed press cards.
According to the relevant stipulations, Chinese reporters should change their press cards every five years. The work for current press card change began in November 2003.
By January 2005, the General Administration of Press and Publication had issued 146, 541 new press cards.
