Journalists keep close eye on conventions

For Xu Yifan, the Washington correspondent for The China Press, covering the 2016 Republican and Democratic national conventions has offered her some insight into the two parties.

She said the Republican convention in Cleveland, Ohio, was much better organized - the shuttles were more convenient, the press center better equipped and the screens in the arena also more visible.

In the DNC on July 25-28, journalists sitting in the general press stand are looking at the back of speakers.
