| Summary |
This book explores the challenges to news professionalism and media autonomy stemming from the state, market pressure, digitalization, and a polarized civil society in Hong Kong. It examines how media organizations, journalists, and the audience responded to ongoing social, political, and technological changes as Hong Kong was governed by the paradigm of integration under liberal exceptionalism. Combining the authors' close observations of the media scene with systematic empirical data, this book sheds light on the past, present, and possible future of the Hong Kong media. It shall be of interest to journalists, journalism and political communication researchers, and scholars of Asian politics. Chi Kit Chan is Associate Professor at the School of Communication, the Hang Seng University of Hong Kong. Gary Tang is Assistant Professor at the Department of Social Science, the Hang Seng University of Hong Kong. Francis L. F. Lee is Professor at the School of Journalism and Communication, Chinese University of Hong Kong, and an Elected Fellow of the International Communication Association |
