media - Journalism students discuss the Zhao Yan case

The weblog of the journalism school of the Beijing Institute for foreign languages will start a discussion on the Chinese journalist Zhao Yan, working for the Beijing bureau of the New York Times, by agents of the Beijing state security bureau in September 2004, their website announces.
"Since it is a journalism story that goes to the heart of the ages-old conundrum of how to balance the people's right to know with the sworn duty of a government to protect national interests," the announcement says, "as English language journalism majors, Mr. Zhao's case and his continued detention became a part of our studies. And our writing. Consequently, a series of opinion and commentary essays representing a wide range of thoughts on the issue will follow in these pages. We believe you will find much food for thought on a complex dilemma."
The pieces start with an overview of the English language articles on the case.
