What Chinese Censors Don't Want You to Know

The New York Times recently got their hands on a set of guidelines the Chinese government provides to the media.

No negative news allowed on the front pages of newspapers or the headline news sections of Web sites.
Delete news related to the youtan poluo flower. [Buddhist lore says this rare and auspicious flower blooms once every 3,000 years.

Do not report on cases of detention center inmates dying during sleep.
