Exclusive | News-based education hub set to be launched in Hong Kong to show visitors city’s media history
Brainchild of the Journalism Education Foundation will open after five years of planning and will not rule out exhibitions of past politically sensitive events
The Hong Kong News-Expo, expected to open in December after five years of planning and preparation, is the brainchild of the Journalism Education Foundation – a non-profit organisation seeking to raise industry standards – but its mission has drawn support from beyond journalists.
“I was at the other end of the microphone and that attracted me to this project which enables me to understand news-making,” former police commissioner Tang King-shing and the expo’s management committee chair since 2014, told the Post.

“I believe there is always more than one angle to things and seeing how the media has reported major events in the past from different angles gives me immense satisfaction,” he said.
