media - Post-tsunami training for journalists

Shantou University
Just booked my tickets for a short trip to Shantou this Friday, where I will be joining a training for thirty Chinese journalists at the Shantou University. Together with Andrew Lih of the Hong Kong University we will focus on the effects of technology on the media, and how that could have an impact on reporting abroad.
Again, a timely subjects, as a group of media prepares for new trips abroad, this time to India and Pakistan, where premier Wen Jiabao will be for a state visit. Main problem for my more independent colleagues: Wen only invites Xinhua and CCTV to join his delegation, unlike the common practise of many other countries. So, many Chinese colleagues will be roaming around, looking for good stories to cover, without being able to get even access to their own premier.
