The Epoch Times

The Epoch Times

when I first access to this web, I am so surpriesd that the scale of it are so large and international that not only 13 languages can be chosen but even for English only there are already 6 different posts provided for different countries.
Even I have no special attitude towards the belief of falunkong, it is a good illustration of how the politically maginalized group making visible in society by the use of Internet distribution and Independent Media.

"A special strength of the Epoch Times is our coverage of China. Today the world is increasingly looking to China, as this troubled giant goes through tremendous changes. Business and political leaders, and also world citizens, want to understand better what is happening there. We are able to provide well-sourced stories that no one else has through the original reporting done by the Chinese-language edition of The Epoch Times."

"The Chinese-language Epoch Times started publishing in response to the growing need for uncensored coverage of events in China. The first newspaper was published in New York in May 2000, with the web launch in August 2000. Local editions published by regional bureaus soon followed, making it the largest of any Chinese-language newspaper outside of Mainland China and Taiwan." ~About Us, The Epoch Times
