Foreign media at the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre information
Non-Chinese media presence
Foreign media institutions and correspondents were present for much of the 1989 Tiananmen Square protests and massacre. They included correspondents from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), Voice of America (VOA), Cable News Network (CNN), Columbia Broadcasting System (CBS), American Broadcasting Company (ABC), and the National Broadcasting Company (NBC).[1] Others included correspondents from then British-controlled Hong Kong and Taiwan.[2] Many of the correspondents were in China to report on the visit of Mikhail Gorbachev or were covering the Asian Development Bank meeting that was happening in Beijing.[3][4] Foreign media coverage of the protests became a popular source for news after martial law was declared on May 20 and the government "imposed strict control over the Chinese media".[5]
