China Bans "Inexperienced Reporters" From Securities, Futures Beats
As of February 1, news outlets must "verify the credentials of organizations and columnists before publishing their commentaries and analyses," ensuring that journalists have either "worked in securities and futures organizations or covered finance and economics for at least two years."
In a related move, the US has decided to take a small page from China's playabook and ban three journalists from writing about Wall Street, as nominated by the people.
