Summary 內容: While 2014 saw the gravest threat to press freedom in Hong Kong according to the World Press Freedom Index, many new media groups were established after the Occupy Movement. They take a multifaceted journalistic approach to the rapidly transforming city of Hong Kong, while facing the opportunities and challenges posed by the economic and political dynamics. Representatives from these newly born news media groups will share with you their journey in this exciting yet challenging new age of journalism in Hong Kong.

現在談佔領運動好像有點過時,但要論新聞媒體的變局,它仍是分水嶺──當香港在全球新聞自由排名創新低、傳統紙媒裁員轉型之時,一批以新聞為主的網媒加入戰團,在處於萎縮的行業裏摸索新的生存模式。它們面對甚麼機遇和挑戰?它們在商業與政治的狹縫中如何掙扎?它們能生存嗎?
