China today opened a teaching and research centre here to train media personnel in 'socialist journalism' so that the growing state-run media can identify "wrong or harmful" content.
The teaching and research base, a joint project between Tsinghua University and Fudan University, will facilitate the implementation of instructions on news reporting issued earlier this year by the central authorities, Deng Wei, deputy secretary of Tsinghua University's Communist Party of China Committee.
"We should develop journalism in China with a thorough understanding of the good aspects of journalism in other countries so that wrong or harmful content can be identified," Tong Bing, a professor at Fudan University was quoted by state-run Xinhua news agency reported.
It focuses on socialist journalism with Chinese characteristics.
