China ethics plea after fake buns

Zi Beijia, a reporter of Beijing TV, ran a report about a food store that mixed cardboard into its pork buns. But later, it became clear that the report was fake. It is said that the reporter's aim was to become famous. After the happening, China's propaganda department has called on journalists to strictly adhere to news ethics. The Chinese Communist Party heavily controls its media, but it seems that it cannot always stop reporters simply making up stories.
