Mark Glaser at MediaShift has the exclusive story explaining how Reporters Without
Borders pulled off a 20-minute FM radio broadcast in Beijing right
before the Olympics kicked off on August 8. It’s a first-person account
of how the protester hid radio antennas in hiking sticks, tried to look
like a tourist, and ended up broadcasting right near the Beijing
International Media Center. Chinese authorities searched for the person
sending out the broadcast, but never found them. It’s a story of
intrigue and shows that technology will help people come up with
ingenious ways to get around state censorship.
