Pew Internet Posts
Senior Research Fellow Deborah Fallows has been living in China for the past two years, sending us whimsical dispatches as well as in-depth reports about the impact of the internet on social life.
When we heard about the recent earthquake in China, we immediately thought of Deb and hoped she was safe. Her first post-quake dispatch was not only reassuring, but provided fresh insights to the tragedy.

Today, Deb reminded me that she visited the village of Wolong last August, which was about 10 miles from the epicenter of the earthquake, and a panda preserve.
