Fourth Estate

This week on Fourth Estate, we mark International Press Freedom Day with a special conversation with Bill Birtles, the ABC's China Correspondent. Host Olivia Rosenman spoke to Bill about what it's like being a journalist in a country that ranks close to the bottom for press freedom. We also discussed how Chinese people use social media and how despite censorship, online technology is an even more prevalent part of their daily lives than in Australia. Fourth Estate is produced by 2SER 107.3 radio in Sydney and is broadcast across the Community Radio Network in Australia. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
