News organizations on the Chinese mainland employ approximately 1 million people, according to a report.

 

More than 250,000 of them are officially certified as journalists, 55.9 percent of whom are male. The total includes managers and staff members working in other areas, such as marketing, administration and distribution.

 

The figures were released by the All-China Journalists Association in an English version of its report on the future of journalism in China.

 

The report, which was issued in Chinese at the end of 2014, highlights the role of new media.

 

The English version, available in full at www.zgjx.cn, will help "the international community, especially the overseas press" to acquire a detailed and accurate understanding of the Chinese press, the association said in a statement accompanying the report.

 

"The environment for journalism development is becoming more and more open," the report says, adding that foreign journalists now find their work in China easier to execute and more rewarding.
