Hours of standing outside, microphone in hand, camera over shoulder, always looking for the ‘right client'; the person who'll give you a clear and concise comment on the subject. But local television in China has found a solution. Journalists (see photos) prepare comments in advance, and simply ask passers-by to read them out. <p> These pictures were taken in 2004 in Huangshi in the central China province of Hubei. Journalists from a local television station are ‘questioning' people on a Communist Party conference that took place in town.

Authorities have now banned any comments on the subject. </p> http://observers.france24.com/en/content/20080129-vox-pops%E2%80%A6-script#comments photo China Chinese Communist Party journalism 30.221102 115.037842 Tue, 29 Jan 2008 17:23:09 +0100 Julien 6839 at http://observers.france24.com
