Crackdown on fake journalists strengthened
    2018-05-22  08:53    Shenzhen Daily

CHINESE authorities yesterday publicized five typical cases concerning blackmail by fake journalists.

China’s National Office Against Pornographic and Illegal Publications launched a campaign against fake news organizations and journalists earlier this year.

A statement issued yesterday by the office pointed out that extortion is among the key targets of the campaign, and real journalists who help or work with fake journalists have also been punished.

In one case, eight were arrested in Binzhou City in East China’s Shandong Province last month on suspicion of blackmailing several companies and institutions in the name of “interviews.”

This group, led by a man surnamed Zhang, had earned more than 3 million yuan (US$470,000) since 2015.

In another case in Xingtai, Hebei Province, seven fake journalists were arrested for blackmailing companies and government offices by threatening to publish negative reports.
