Description: There is quite a bit of info in the news media today about the censorship of the web for journalists in the Olympic media centre. When this humble reporter/documentarian/web-girl wandered the halls of CCTV (video is of the 'old' CCTV lobby) with fellow journalist/story-tellers last Fall, it was apparent that things were 'under control' at all times. In November, the 'mother ship' of this site - www.charterofrights.ca - could be reached, in China, in Chinese. It was quite exciting to watch the traffic to the site from Chinese addresses. I wonder if the 'mother ship' is now banned? I'll check the weblogs... but we should also get some of our Chinese colleagues (or buddies working 'on the ground' for various foreign broadcasters) to report in. As they say, 'Stay Tuned'...
