Before People Can Tell the Truth, They Should be Able to Speak

In recent weeks, several state media organizations seemed to be ready to make significant changes and move closer to the people. While still claiming to be watchdogs of the government, they promise to tell truth. People's Daily sets up a daily opinion page, saying it would "speak truth and write about reality." Xinhua and CCTV made similar moves, publishing reports about abuse of power and corruption.
