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.

  • Soundscape Certificate Course
    Sponsor: Soundscape Certificate Course Organizer: HKIE-MMNC & HKIOA Session 1 - From noise control to soundscape planning Session 2 - 1st Excursion Session 3 - Methods in soundscape evaluation Session 4 - Positive & negative soundscapes Session 5 - 2nd Excursion Session 6 - Soundscape planning and design Deadline of application: 11 Nov 2016 Soundscape has recently been defined by International Organization of Standardization as “[the] acoustic environment as perceived or experienced and/or understood by a person or people, in context” (ISO 2014). In the same way as landscape is what we see and its meaning to us, soundscape is all what we hear and how it affects us. In the last ten years, there has been a growing interest in soundscape studies and an increasing number of publications in scientific literature of the field. There is increasing evidence that the soundscape we live in can affect our health and well-being. It is also contended that the soundscape approach can augment our conventional noise control approach in managing the urban acoustic environment. This course gives an introduction to soundscape, what we measure and evaluate and how we can craft a soundscape that promotes health.
