Controversies

In 2008, when a safety incident occurred at the Huobao Ganhe Coal Mine (霍宝干河煤矿) in Shanxi province, real and fake journalists scrambled to get there - not to cover the incident, but to collect "hush money" from the mine.[9] Among them, Niu Jianli (牛建黎), a journalist from the Science Guide,[10] received 10,000 yuan from as the "hush money". After the scandal came to light, Niu's press card was revoked and he was ordered to return the stolen money, and the Shanxi provincial press and publication administration department imposed an administrative penalty of one warning and a fine of 30,000 yuan on the Science Guide Agency.[11]
