摘要
Regional media disclosure and competition is an important aspect to understand the development and reform in China. Based on self-collected data on provincial characteristics and all local media reports in regional newspapers from 2000 to 2014, we study the incentives of local media to report the events such as corruption investigations and major industrial accidents. We find that provincial level newspaper is more likely to promote negative news related to their competing peer provinces. We also find that negative news reports indeed reduce the promotion probability of reported cadres, while increasing the chances of promotion for those who report the news.
