Journalists' Day in China
November 8 · Level 5 · #1196 of 2238
China's Journalists' Day honours reporters, editors, photographers and other media workers. It puts the people behind the headlines in the spotlight, recognising the daily effort involved in bringing news to an audience.
How it is celebrated: media organisations hold award ceremonies, newsroom gatherings and professional discussions. Colleagues recognise achievements, revisit notable reporting and exchange experiences of covering demanding stories.
The date traces back to the founding of a Chinese journalists' organisation in 1937. The official observance came much later: Journalists' Day was first celebrated in 2000.
