BEIJING, April 22 (Xinhua) -- The All-China Journalists Association on Monday launched a program of providing aid to press staff, a senior official said.

The non-profitable program covers Chinese journalists who were killed or injured while doing their duty or behaving bravely for justice, said Zhai Huisheng, Communist Party of China chief at the association.
