About
The fourth session addresses how journalists regard freedom of the press, censorship and suppression of information. The failure of mainstream media in reporting on China’s forced organ harvesting has had a negative impact on the dissemination of information and knowledge to the public, and on the credibility of valid research and investigations of this human rights violation.
