Paris Conference Video Series: Paul Steiger

The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) has been warning the international community about China's failing to live up to its promises to improve its press freedom situation as a condition to being selected as the Games organizer.

At the Paris conference, CPJ Chairman Paul Steiger gave a sobering account of this failure and the failure of the OIC to keep the Beijing government accountable.

Steiger touched on the following subjects:
1. The press freedom situation in China has worsened and the government continues to put more journalists in prison than any other country in the world.
2. The IOC's shameless passing the buck when it comes to demanding accountability from Chinese authorities.
3. What visiting journalists can expect during their coverage of the Games?
4. What journalists will be most at risk of prosecution during the Games?
