Many people believe that there is a tight control of Chinese press by an ideological hand.
As a reflection of market economy by the means of news, the gravity of news media is shifting from a government behavior to a market behaviors, from the area of production to the area of circulation. The news media emphasize more on serving the society, the market and the people other than serving the officials. By analyzing their content and studying its effects, we will discover the Chinese press begins to have the freedoms of reporting bad news, writing probing stories, publishing unflattering opinions and debate government policies. With the deepening of economic reform and emerging of a market economy, the government finds itself not having the money to support the survival and development of a large number of media in China, which has pushed the Chinese news organizations to reform in content, style and management. The market has weakened government's effective control of the press.
