Students rap media 'hegemony'

Chinese students overseas, angered by distorted Western coverage of the recent riots in Tibet, have united to counter what they call "Western media hegemony".

They have set up a website, www.anti-cnn.com, to collect evidence of what they believe is one-sided and untrue Western reporting, and posted an open letter asking all Chinese to rise up against "the Western Goebbels' Nazi media", a reference to the Nazi-era propaganda minister Joseph Goebbels.

Meanwhile, Chinese students in Britain are calling on some 100,000 fellow students in the country to take part in a "29-Pence Action", the amount referring to the 29 pence it costs for ordinary mail.
