Censorship cooled for SAR's coverage

In Beijing, February 6, the Hong Kong and Macao Affairs Office of the State Council released rules for journalists' covering the mainland. Reporters can interview anyone who consents, rather than having to seek government permission beforehand. Reporters from Hong Kong and Macao special administrative regions (SAR's) can cover without government permission as long as they hold press cards. However, reporters cannot carry out activities incompatible with their profession. The last time China implemented an 'ok' to greater media freedom was during the olympics. Is china becoming more accepting to media coverage?
