President's Message Members Newsletter Sep 2017 President's Message The summer behind us was rather tempestuous, with an exceptional number of scary typhoons bringing unwelcome devastation and floods not only to Hong Kong but our neighbours and the rest of the world. The unprecedented trend is, to many, a wake- up call and a reminder to us all of the grave need to look after our environment, prepare for climate change and invest where there is more than meets the eye to build resilience. Thankfully, Hong Kong’s foundation remains solid. Our standards, especially those in regard to governance, rule of law as well as safety & security are all on par with the best international benchmarks. For the first time in Hong Kong history, we have a female Chief Executive, who, perhaps characteristic of us women who often focus on action and communication, pledges to lead us forward by listening, caring and being interactive, innovative and collaborative. At the Association, we’d definitely step up and continue with our many constructive initiatives to respond to the new leadership to contribute to a better Hong Kong. We have just announced the five Awardees for the 2017 Outstanding Women Professionals and Entrepreneurs Award, recognizing the best among ourselves and the wonderful woman power any community should continue to mine for the good of the world. Do join us and stay tuned. Viva la femme!

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.
