Press coverage of terrorist acts raises many disturbing questions about national security and journalistic responsibility to victims. Media coverage is what terrorists seek through their acts of violence. Reporters must consider the effects that their coverage will have on the terrorists, the nations involved and, perhaps most importantly, victims such as hostages. There can be no standard to which all situations could be applied. Each instance puts a demand on the reporter to address these questions and weigh the potential cost of human life with the importance of the story.

Organizations such as Reporters without Borders and the Committee to Protect Journalists rank China high among those states practicing media suppression and censorship. In the state-run press, a number of topics are generally off limits.\n In the China Daily's year-end round-up, it wrote about the scandal, saying: The reasons for the recalls were not just quality defects, behind them were traditional disputes, technical barriers, trade protection and an overhyped media coverage. [...] China was determined to restore the confidence in China-made products and launched a four-month nationwide special campaign to improve product quality and food safety.
Every time there is talk of censorship in the media, the Social Liberal's argument is simply for the viewer to "turn it off." Well, when it comes to the movie "Brokeback Mountain," Larry Miller is "turning it off. Bradley Christensen
Recent media articles have featured Maine tea party members who are upset that the Washington Bureau Chief of Al-Jazeera, Abderrahim Foukara, will be the speaker at the General Henry Knox Museum's 2011 fundraising event. The Sun Journal printed a letter to the editor on July 18 featuring the same complaint. Apparently, the tea party has made a foray into censorship. In his letter, Jared Bristol makes an unsupported allegation, floated in the right-wing media, that Al-Jazeera is "a mouthpiece for the Muslim Brotherhood." From there, it's a couple of jumps to the contention that having Foukara as a speaker is giving "evil" a microphone.
BEIJING | China has blocked access to the New York Times Web site, the newspaper said Saturday, days after the central government defended its right to censor online content it deems illegal. It was not clear whether the move was meant to block specific content on the newspaper's Web site or if it was a return to stricter censorship of the Internet in general. Beijing loosened some media and Internet controls during the 2008 Summer Olympics - gestures that were meant to show the international community that the Games had brought greater freedom to the Chinese people.
President Obama is treading on dangerous ground. Using a high- handed tactic such as dismissing Fox News as not being a "real news network" should raise the concern of all Americans. Picking and choosing which networks are given access to the president is un-American and censorship in its truest form. Controlling the media that disagree with your actions is the forte of such leaders as Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez.
Say it loud, I'm Black and I'm proud," chanted [Al Sharpton] from atop a truck at Columbus Circle in front of Time Warner. The protest was held on [James Brown]'s birthday and the reverend went on to say, "You have never seen this many people march on a record company. They have never been challenged. They claim they speak for the people. You've never seen the actual people from the community come out, which is something they did not expect. It's time they ask themselves why so many people walked [in protest] to their door. The crowd shouted back, "Stop the dirty words," as Sharpton continued, "We've started by marching to three of the four major record companies. Next we're going to deal with them one by one. And we'll be dealing with the media companies, as well. We don't want censo...

The four theories of the press have long dominated in journalism education and research and arguably do a good job of describing media systems in the West. However, it is hard to fit Asian media systems into the existing theories. This paper re-examines the four press theories and identifies the difficulties in using the theories as a guide to understand media systems in Asia. The purpose of this paper is to raise issues with the applicability of the theories in an Asian media context and explore a new paradigm, which would bring in cultural values from both the East and the West.
