Beijing Olympic organizers reiterated yesterday that they will follow Olympic practice and honor their commitment on media operation to ensure comprehensive and objective coverage of the 2008 Olympic Games.

Liu Jingmin, executive vice president of the Beijing Organizing Committee for the 2008 Olympic Games (BOCOG), told the second World Press Briefing that regulations have been implemented to adapt to Olympic needs.

"Regulations on Reporting Activities in China by Foreign Journalists during the Beijing Olympic Games and BOCOG's Service Guide for Foreign Media Coverage of the Beijing Olympic Games, which were both issued earlier this year, are consistent with Olympic conventions and provide the legal framework for better delivery of media service," said Liu.

With the 2008 Games just 302 days away, Liu promised that BOCOG would step up efforts and draw on the experiences of Olympic test events to raise the level of media service.

"We have gained a lot, and discovered our shortcomings through hosting dozens of test events," he said.

Some 330 delegates from 130 media organizations around the globe are attending the 2007 World Press Briefing for the Beijing Olympics, which will last until Friday. Earlier, two separate workshops were held on venue media services and photo services respectively.

Kevan Gosper, president of IOC's press commission, said the world press briefing is an important platform of communication between media and BOCOG.

"This world press briefing is very, very important to give the opportunity to the journalists a better understanding of the procedures in China and for the journalists to give their opinions," he said.

About 21,600 accredited media will descend on the Chinese capital during next year's Olympic Games.
