This study employs content analysis to examine the cross-regional news supervision by public opinion of Southern Weekly in mainland China. The findings are: both news supervision and the cross-regional news supervision by public opinion are emphasized; supervision regions are mostly in Beijing and Sichuan; supervised issues are the justice and political in nature and focused on political and legal and the medical and health agenda. Besides, the Southern Weekly often plays the "on behalf of the public" role to engage in supervision, finally, the breadth and depth of the cross-regional news supervision by public opinion have better performance. However, the numbers of cross-regional news supervision by public opinion have been reduced significantly since May 2005. That is obvious the wrestle between government power and market driving force on news supervision in mainland China.
