Shanghai - Post Report Question and Answers
English-language newspapers and TV available? Cost?
Yes, but the local papers are mainly just propaganda. - Aug 2011
Yes, and depending on your housing, cable may be included. In many of the western-style housing areas, international cable channels are available. - Dec 2010
There are a few paid English TV channels. - Jul 2010
Yes. There is an English language Shanghai Daily, the South China Morning Post and other newspapers. They are censored and biased, but not as bad as I feared they'd be. We use AFN for TV, and have a local expat cable package that gets us an extra 10 channels of English language TV. There are also excellent satellite packages available. Cost to us for AFN and the local expat cable package is free. - Feb 2009
