Reporters head to the 'roots' of a story

BEIJING - Reporters across the country will be digging more in the grassroots for stories as part of a national "go grassroots" campaign.

Launched by five Party and government departments, the campaign will reflect the thoughts of people at the grassroots and prompt public discussion.

It will also improve the quality of journalists who communicate closely with the grassroots, said a statement from the departments, which include the Publicity Department of the Communist Party of China (CPC) Central Committee and the General Administration of Press and Publication.
