STORY HIGHLIGHTS
(CNN) -- Crowds gathered at the headquarters of a Chinese newspaper on Monday, in support of a rare protest by journalists against alleged government censorship.
The journalists at the Southern Weekly paper, based in the southern Chinese city of Guangzhou, claim that an editorial calling for political reform was censored by and re-written as a tribute to Communist Party rule.
Photos published by the South China Morning Post and circulated on China's most popular microblogging site Sina Weibo showed dozens of people gathering outside the paper's headquarters, some holding posters calling for press freedom.
One journalist from Southern Media Group, which owns Southern Weekly, told CNN that colleagues joined the protest to express their outrage.
"We stand up now because we were pushed to the limit," the journalist, who asked to remain anonymous, said.
Some journalists have threatened to strike. If it goes ahead, it would be the first time an editorial staff of a major Chinese newspaper has openly staged a strike in more than two decades, the South China Morning Post reported.
The controversy emerged last week when a group of former Southern Weekly journalists said, in an open letter, that a local propaganda chief had dramatically altered the paper's traditional New Year message, according to a translation published by the China Media Project at Hong Kong University.
While newspapers in China are often subject to censorship, the journalists wrote in the letter that the changes were excessive, and took place after editors had signed off on the final proofs.
The letter also said that the official had introduced factual errors.

Chinese journalists protest censorship
Amid government censorship and controls, are Internet service providers in China actually resisting the propaganda authorities?
China is famous not only for its cultural heritage and newfound economic power. While the country boasts of the biggest number of Internet and mobile users to date, the so-called Great Firewall of China is also enforced to filter and control the flow of information both within the countrys borders and across a practice that authorities say is meant to prevent illegal activities and to enforce its jurisdiction within geographic borders.
For instance, in recent news, we have learned that China is now enforcing a real-name requirement for any person accessing the Internet. Propaganda authorities are also quick to order the deletion of any Internet posting, censoring of keywords or banning of entire accounts altogether when the information is deemed sensitive or illegal. Both users and service providers usually have no recourse but to comply. Some enterprising individuals would usually resort to workarounds, which can include the use of VPNs, code-words, encryption, and the like.
Is Sina deliberately delaying its censorship?
But whats quite surprising at this point is that some service providers seem to be employing some delaying tactics in filtering or censoring content, giving time for the message to spread out before being removed from the source.
Global Voices Online has shared a translation of a purported leak from a Sina Weibo employee , which tries to explain the rationale behind the companys deletion of posts and accounts. According to the poster, this practice stems from the need to find a balance between providing a medium for users to voice out, while also complying with state regulations for content filtering.
We need [Sina] Weibo to deliver voices. But a hand is manipulating us. Someone is doomed to be sacrifice[d] in this game. We live in a country full of special and sensitive barriers and we have to operate within a set of rules.
Interestingly enough, the supposed employee suggests that Sina may be intentionally letting erring content slip out into a wider readership before it eventually pulls the plug.
You guys keep posting messages like machines You can see the messages before they are deleted, right? You still have your accountfunctioning, right? You are all experienced netizens, you know that the technology allows us to delete messages in a second. Please think carefully on this.
There is no confirmation at this point, as how genuine_Yu_Yang is actually connected with Sina. But whats clear at this point is that, indeed, information does get out to some extent, before being extinguished at the source. By then, the supposed damage would have been done. Content would have been re-tweeted or shared with tens of thousands of other users.
