Since 1990s, many newspapers of major cities in China opened up op-ed pages, soliciting opinions over public issues from readers. This opened up readers’ access right to media in China. Taking a case study of Beijing News, a Beijing newspaper which initiated the op-ed page in Beijing, this paper aims at analyzing the significance of op-ed contents. Beijing News’s op-ed page as a platform did accomplish its functions in certain areas of public concerns. Nevertheless, the newspaper deliberately skipped those news negative to China’s image. Further, those op-ed pieces were likely to be edited before being published. What the above observations imply is that these op-eds only serve the Chinese Communist Party’s goal. This paper also projects that op-ed sections in China’s media have not achieved the level of what Jurgen Habermas calls “public forum,” that opens to all people to discuss all issues regardless of social class, race, gender, political faith, and religion.
