A Chinese citizen journalist who reported on the outbreak of coronavirus in Wuhan has been jailed for four years.

A Chinese court handed the term to Zhang Zhan, 37, on grounds of "picking quarrels and provoking trouble", her lawyer said.

Zhan, the first person known to have been tried on those charges, was among a handful of people in Wuhan whose first-hand accounts of the coronavirus pandemic have landed them in trouble.
