The New York Times has reported aggressively on the conflict between business and journalism in Bloomberg’s China operations<\/a>. Now, its own Chinese-language site is “under review” as a result of its blocking by Chinese authorities<\/strong><\/a>. The site was launched in June<\/a> last year in expectation of lucrative luxury ad revenues<\/a>, but was swiftly blocked after the Times published an award-winning expos\u00e9 of Wen Jiabao’s family wealth<\/a> that October. From Jennifer Saba at Reuters:<\/p>\n [New York Times Company president and CEO Mark] Thompson said in an interview with Reuters on Tuesday that the website, which was launched in a beta version in June 2012, got off to an encouraging start.<\/p>\n “The fact that we can’t be seen officially inside China means the revenue is not as large as we would have wished it to have been,” he said.<\/p>\n “If it’s a loss-making operation, they are all under constant review.”<\/p>\n\n
