The events of the Tiananmen Protests (remembered as 6/4 as in June 4th, 1989 to most Chinese) are recalled and analyzed by a western reporter in Beijing at the time.

This piece offers pictures and the audio recording of the reporters voice in a half dozen or so 2 minute recordings moving in chronological order.

The report includes history of the conflict, the role of students, and graphic details of how the Chinese government ended the protests. In the classroom, students could use this to learn more about Tiananmen and the job of journalists.
