And now we must also ask whether the SCMP can be accessed from China… ( http://img8.uploadhouse.com/fileuploads/16812/168126585c540ea85a86122e9fff04239577256a.jpg )
SCMP does really good work, but I hate that it’s buried behind a paywall. In the age of Google and multi-platform information dissemination, I can’t believe that a media organization that actually breaks news would purposefully erect a barrier between readers and their original content, essentially rerouting traffic to competitors.
You can get around the SCMP paywall by viewing the source of the article when the login screen comes up. The full text will be included.
That’s one heck of a prize!
