Share

National media regulators on Tuesday commended 41 news organizations and 143 journalists for their timely and transparent coverage of rescue and relief operations following the May 12 earthquake in Sichuan Province.

Among media organizations termed exemplary were the Editor-in-Chief's Office of the People's Daily, the News Center of CCTV, and the People's Liberation Army Bureau of Xinhua News Agency, according to a notice issued here.

The Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television, the General Administration of Press and Publication and the All China Journalists Association jointly issued the notice.

Reporters and editors from national and local media were honored for their untiring efforts in the quake coverage.

"The earthquake on May 12 plunged the whole nation into deep sorrow, but media workers began non-stop coverage right away," the notice said.

"In the past two months, their quick, transparent reports played an irreplaceable role in heartening the public and pushing forward disaster rescue and relief.

"Their work also won general acclaim in the international community," the notice added.
