Media Lens

There are two primary “filters” the colour media coverage on Internet censorship in China: the “1984″ and the “technoptimist”. I wrote about this a while back

Recently there’s been a cluster of “technoptimist” articles:

• China trembles at the power of the blog
• Censors powerless against the Net
• Web censorship is failing, says Chinese official

As the Olympics draw near, the tone will likely shift.
