F. LEE ABSTRACT: Most observers argued that press freedom in Hong Kong has been declining continually over the past 15 years. This article examines the problem of press freedom from the perspective of the political economy of the media. According to conventional understanding, the Chinese government has exerted indirect influence over the Hong Kong media through co-opting media owners, most of whom were entrepreneurs with ample business interests in the mainland. At the same time, there were internal tensions within the political economic system. The latter opened up a space of resistance for media practitioners and thus helped the media system as a whole to maintain a degree of relative autonomy from the power centre. However, into the 2010s, the media landscape has undergone several significant changes, especially the worsening media business environment and the growth of digital media technologies.

  • The RTHK Coverage of the 2004 Legislative Council Election Compared with the Commercial Broadcaster
    Mainstream or Alternative? The RTHK Coverage of the 2004 Legislative Council Election Compared with the Commercial Broadcaster so Ming Hang A Thesis Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Master of Philosophy in Government and Public Administration © The Chinese University of Hong Kong June 2005 The Chinese University of Hong Kong holds the copyright of this thesis. Any person(s) intending to use a part or whole of the materials in the thesis in a proposed publication must seek copyright release from the Dean of the Graduate School. 卜二,A館書圆^^ m 18 1 KK j|| Abstract Theoretically, public broadcaster and commercial broadcaster are set up and run by two different mechanisms. Commercial broadcaster, as a proprietary organization, is believed to emphasize on maximizing the profit while the public broadcaster, without commercial considerations, is usually expected to achieve some objectives or goals instead of making profits. Therefore, the contribution by public broadcaster to the society is usually expected to be different from those by commercial broadcaster. However, the public broadcasters are in crisis around the world because of their unclear role in actual practice. Many politicians claim that they cannot find any difference between the public broadcasters and the commercial broadcasters and thus they asserted to cut the budget of public broadcasters or even privatize all public broadcasters. Having this unstable situation of the public broadcasting, the role or performance of the public broadcasters in actual practice has drawn much attention from both policy-makers and scholars. Empirical studies are divergent on whether there is difference between public and commercial broadcaster in actual practice.

  • Complaints Dealt with by the Communications Authority (“CA”) (Released on 15 December 2020)
    Complaints dealt with by the Communications Authority (“CA”) (released on 15 December 2020) The CA considered the following cases which had been deliberated by the Broadcast Complaints Committee (“BCC”) – Complaint Cases 1. Television Programme “Another Hong Kong” (另一個香港) broadcast by Television Broadcasts Limited (“TVB”), PCCW Media Limited (“now TV”), Hong Kong Cable Television Limited (“HKCTV”) and Radio Television Hong Kong (“RTHK”) 2. Radio Programmes “Weekend Lucky Star” (潮爆開運王) broadcast by Hong Kong Commercial Broadcasting Company Limited (“CRHK”) The CA also considered cases of dissatisfaction with the decisions of the Director-General of Communications (“DG Com”) on complaint cases. Having considered the recommendations of the BCC, the CA decided– 1. that the complaints against the television programme “Another Hong Kong” (另 一個香港) were unsubstantiated. Nevertheless, there is scope to improve identification of the source of acquired/relayed factual programmes on controversial issues of public importance in Hong Kong to help viewers in making decisions in their choice of programmes and in forming their expectations and judgements. The CA suggested that TVB could inform viewers of the existence of other parts of such programmes which were not broadcast on its service, and that now TV and HKCTV should provide sufficient information about the source of such programmes in a prominent manner prior to their broadcast; 2. that strong advice should be given to CRHK on the complaint against the radio programmes “Weekend Lucky Star” (潮爆開運王); and 3. to uphold the decisions of the DG Com on two cases of dissatisfaction with the decisions of the DG Com. The list of the cases is available in the Appendix.

In January 2006, the Chief Executive (CE) appointed an independent Committee on Review of Public Service Broadcasting (the Review Committee) to examine the subject of PSB. The Review Committee submitted its report to the Government in March 2007. On 22 September 2009, having regard to the Review Committee’s report and all relevant considerations, the Chief Executive in Council (CE in C) decided on the way forward on the development of PSB in Hong Kong. RTHK is to be tasked to take up the mission to serve as the public service broadcaster for Hong Kong, with safeguards and appropriate resources provided to allow it to do so effectively. This momentous decision marks the beginning of a new RTHK, with a new mission and objectives. 1.2 This consultation paper sets out our proposals on how to enhance the role and functions of the new RTHK as a public service broadcaster and seeks views from the public on the implementation measures.
