Freedom and Fear in Hong Kong Media

April 24, 2014

The ouster and subsequent stabbing attack on Ming Pao Daily News ex-Chief Editor Kevin Lau have drawn protestors into Hong Kong’s streets and put a global spotlight on the future of the city’s autonomy and press freedoms under “One Country, Two Systems.”  This panel discussion focused on the past, present, and future of Hong Kong’s Chinese-language media and its role in Greater China’s economic and cultural life.  Speakers included CHEN Zhiwu (Yale School of Management), KANG Zhengguo (Emeritus, East Asian Languages & Literatures), Thomas KELLOGG (Open Society Foundations) , Shirley YAM (via Skype, South China Morning Post), moderated by Deborah DAVIS (Yale Sociology), and with translation by Nick FRISCH - (Yale PhD Student, East Asian Languages & Literatures).
年初《明報》前總編劉進圖被撤職後不久遇襲,不僅激起香港民眾群情激憤走上街頭,也讓香港特區在「一國兩制」下的自治與新聞自由等話題引發了國際關注。歡迎加入我們的座談會,主題為香港華文媒體的過去、現在和將來,及華文媒體在大中華經濟與文化領域所扮演角色。
