Human Rights Watch (HRW) has published a guide for journalists on covering the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics. The guide emphasizes the need for journalists to protect their Chinese sources.
"You will leave, but they will stay," said Minky Worden, director of media at HRW.
The guide addresses the Chinese government's regulations imposed on foreign journalists, and offers tips to elude government censorship. It also teaches journalists to identify different levels of security forces by uniform.
The guide will be available in French, English, Spanish, and German.
