Looking backwards now rather than ahead. Towards the end of the year a number of mainstream Chinese Net Media sites launched an online quest to find what the public considered the News of the Year in Chinese Net Media, 2009.

While the results are yet to come out, amongst the topics in contention are the 60th National Day Celebrations,the violent riots in the western city of Urumqi, the reform of the healthcare system, and a scheme to provide pensions for farmers nationwide.
