Hong Kong Broadcaster Fires Reporter, Deletes Critical Programs

Reuters Cambodia s assault on Mother Nature Hong Kong s government broadcaster fired an outspoken journalist and began deleting online programming on World Press Freedom Day on Monday, amid an ongoing crackdown on critical voices in the city. Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK), a government department that had enjoyed editorial independence before a draconian national security law banned criticism of the authorities, said it wouldn t renew the short-term contract of Nabela Qoser after her hard-hitting questioning of city officials during the 2019 protest movement. Management had earlier terminated the permanent civil service contract of TV current affairs anchor Qoser, in a move that was widely condemned as political interference in the media.

Hong Kong has fined a journalist for ticking a box That shows the city s media freedoms are in jeopardy

Hong Kong has fined a journalist for ticking a box. That shows the city’s media freedoms are in jeopardy Last Wednesday, Hong Kong journalist Bao Choy was honored for her investigative work. The following day, she was convicted for it. In essence, Choy was prosecuted for ticking a box: She had used a government registry to trace license plates connected to a mob that had attacked pro-democracy protesters in a subway station in 2019. In the past, journalists had been able to specify “media” on the form to explain why they were searching the database. But in 2019 the form changed, so Choy ticked “other traffic and transport related matters.”
