Well, you can get it confirmed by Xinhua, the official state media:
http://news.xinhuanet.com/english/2005-09/26/content_3544488.htm
Although they spin it as a way to crack down on "fabricated information,
pornography, gambling, or violence", the most relevant paragraph
confirms the widely reported new registration requirements:
"News sites set up by news organizations but publishing not just their
own stories, and sites by other organizations featuring news stories
must get approval from the State Council Information Office. Sites by
news organizations that only carry their own stories should register at
the main office or provincial information offices."
