By Emma Forkin

  • A protest over censoring the Chinese paper broke out in Guangzhou.
  • The protesters who supported the Southern Weekly newspaper, carried banners and flowers.
  • A section of this paper was changed by the government.
  • Tuo Zhen, the propaganda minister, was blamed for censoring the newspaper.

News venders I used:

What did I learn about navigating my way

through mixed media messages?

New York Times - http://www.nytimes.com/2013/01/08/world/asia/supporters-back-strike-at-newspaper-in-china.html?pagewanted=1&_r=2&

Fox News - http://foxnews.com/world/2013/jan/07/chinese-rare-protest-newspaper-censorship

Voa News - http://m.voanews.com/rss.jsp;jessionid=67CC822C70B794225435CB4CF79F7F20.sonny2?id=3132&rssid=25273271&item=http%3a%2f%2fwww.voanews.com%2frss%2fmobiletech.aspx%3farticleid%3d1579051&cid=25228001&show=full

I learned that every meida source will have the same stories, but they are always written in a differnt way. They might add additional facts that aren't needed. You just need to figure out the message. Each news vendor has their own voice and diferent style of writing things. Always make sure to pay attention in the story and find what the important topic of it is. If you read several of the same stories that are from different news vendors, you will realize that they all have the same message. This is the importance of translating media messages.

Protest Grows Over the

Censoring of the Chinese Paper

What this article had

that the others didn't:

  • The protests were first online.
  • Xi Jinping took over as president of the

communist party in Nov., and gained

respect from an anti-corruption campaign.

Why this reporter fits with

the Voa article:

This seemed like a normal and average news article. While reading it, i pictured just an average reporter with a normal reporter suit on.

What this article had

that the others didn't:

Why this picture fits with

the NYT article:

  • They read quotes from twitter about

the protest.

  • They said that the flowers the protesters

had were chrysanthemums, a sign of mourning.

  • They said that the article that was censored, was

originally about constitutional rights, but was

changed to one that praised the communist gov.

The New York Times article that I read

was informative; that

is why I drew this woman with a nerdy,

smart look.

New York Times Reporter

  • The government will often jail people

(protesters) who speak up.

  • "18 Chinese acedemics signed an open letter

for the dissmissal of Tuo Zhen".

What this article had

that the others didn't:

Fox News Reporter

I think the news article was factual,

but it just seemed like any other

news story. That is why I drew a

normal and pretty, but smart

news reporter.

Why this reporter fits with
