Beijing: China's anti-graft watchdog has criticised the ruling Communist Party's official newspaper the People's Daily for abuses at some of its subsidiaries and bureaus including covering up news in exchange for money and misusing government funds.
Since President Xi Jinping unveiled a massive new push to root out deep-seated corruption three years ago, party graft-busting teams have been sent into government departments around the country.
Completing its latest inspection at the People's Daily, the party's Central Commission for Discipline Inspection said the newspapers' stories had created a "good atmosphere" in the corruption fight.
Government money has been spent on taking holidays, and when problems are discovered they are often not handled properly, it said.
It did not give details.
The government has long been campaigning against reporters covering up news or giving more favourable coverage to a subject in exchange for money.
