China Free Press via Boxun reports that the State Administration of Press and Publications has announced it is compiling a journalists blacklist (http://media.people.com.cn/GB/40606/8799108.html). This database will for the first time collect in one place all violations and transgressions of Communist Party guidelines on the part of Chinese reporters. This type of database has never been openly compiled before, and serves as a powerful deterrent to sensitive reporting on matters potentially embarrassing to the government. Chinese journalists are privately and online expressing strong opposition to this heavy-handed intimidation effort in a bid by officialdom to reduce the increasing amount of critical reporting by Chinese journalists in official publications and on blogs and websites inside and outside China. The blacklist threatens to use the sanctions of banning from publishing for set periods of time, rescinding of official journalist credentials, and legal prosecution for offenders.
