傳媒寒冬 堅持說真話 Media Under Assault for Insisting on Truthful Reporting

八九民運期間,內地新聞界亦加入遊行隊伍,高舉「我們想說真話,別逼我們造謠」的標語。「六四」清場時,內地民眾以身體和生命保護香港學生、記者離開,盼他們將真相公諸於世;香港人的身份成為傳達訊息、揭露真相的渠道。

時至今日,香港傳媒也到了危急存亡之秋。「反修例運動」期間,警方在示威現場肆意侮辱甚至攻擊記者。港區《國安法》訂立後,新聞自由備受侵蝕:警方搜查壹傳媒大樓;港台肆意抽起節目,《鏗鏘集》編導蔡玉玲查冊被定罪……然而我們「不要慣」,要堅持活在真實中。

During the 1989 democracy movement, members of the Chinese press joined marches, flying banners with slogans such as “We want to tell the truth. Don't force us to spread disinformation.” During army operations to clear protesters on June 4, Chinese people protected Hong Kong students and reporters with their bodies and lives, hoping that they could escape to reveal the truth to the rest of the world. Hong Kong people became a channel for conveying messages and exposing the truth.

Today, the Hong Kong media has reached a critical turning point; at stake is the survival of the free press. During the anti-extradition movement, the police insulted and attacked journalists covering the protests. Since the enactment of Hong Kong National Security Law in June 2020, the freedom of the press has eroded rapidly. The police raided the Next Digital building, headquarters of the pro-democracy Apple Daily newspaper. The public broadcaster Radio Television Hong Kong has been “harmonised” and its new director cancels programs at will, while Choy Yuk-ling, producer of the award-winning program “Hong Kong Connection” was convicted of “making false statements” in her investigative work for a program that shone a critical light on policing. But rather than “just getting used to it”, we should insist on living in truth.
