Reporting around the explosion in a plastics factory in Nanjing has been patchy. The factory, which has been called a "time bomb" before a gas leak killed 12, was in newspapers in the former capital today.

Modern Express is a Xinhua-run commercial newspaper. Today a black cover points to the explosion in Nanjing, and about how it is testing its people. However, no other major newspaper in the city had the explosion on the front page.
