Shanghai residents embrace new ways to stay informed

SHANGHAI - New media became an increasingly important tool during the two sessions, allowing Shanghai residents to keep abreast of the latest information from the gatherings of the National People's Congress (NPC) and the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference (CPPCC).

A survey conducted by the Media and Public Opinion Research Center at Fudan University quizzed people on how they felt about the two-week-long sessions of the country's top legislature and its premier political advisory body.

The meetings, known as the two sessions, ended on Monday.
