[edit] Overview[edit] Legally regulatedMass media in Hong Kong is regulated by an independent legal system. It guarantees that practitioners can fully utilize their creativity and professional capacity to entertain the public and pose check on the government. [edit] InternationalAs a world financial centre, Hong Kong attracts mass media all over the world to set up their operations there. Apart from local media, many overseas publications can be found. Foreign broadcasting are treated like regular broadcasts. [edit] InfotainmentHong Kong media are run under commercial principles. Market force plays an important role. Ratings largely determine the income of the media organizations. "Infotainment" is often the mainstream product of mass media. [edit] PromptnessAs a product of a commercial city, the media has the characteristics of other commercial institutes- prompt, responsive, quick. For example, when there is a car accident, reporters would arrive at the hospital earlier than the ambulance. The responsiveness is also demonstrated by the keen need for a scoop. In order to get a scoop, reporters may use all their means to obtain news. Reports are often referenced with "sources said". [edit] Press freedom and responsibilityGovernment intervention of the press in Hong Kong is minimal. People are free to criticize the government. The mass media is generally independent of any political powers. The media have formed their own professional bodies, e.g. Hong Kong Journalists Association, Hong Kong News Executives' Association, to guarantee non-governmental interference. There is a degree of self-censorship by some media, especially with regards to mainland China on "sensitive issues"[2] - though Hong Kong media have criticised the PRC government in the past, particularly for the role in the Tiananmen Square protests of 1989.[3] In a 2003 survey of 14 Asian nations and territories (including the United States and Australia) press freedom, Hong Kong came fifth, after the United States, Australia, the Phillipines and Taiwan. Japan, South Korea, India and Thailand followed Hong Kong in the survey.[4] Hong Kong is currently 51st with relatively few restrictions on the Reporters Without Borders 2008 report.[5] [edit] Private ownershipApart from RTHK and a few newspapers and magazines, most of the media corporations are private-owned. [edit] StatisticsAs of 2002:
[edit] TelevisionMain article: Television in Hong Kong Hong Kong has two broadcast television stations, ATV and TVB. The latter, launched in 1973, was the territory's first free-to-air commercial station, and is currently the predominant TV station in the territory. Paid cable and satellite television have also been widespread. The production of Hong Kong's soap drama, comedy series and variety shows have reached mass audiences throughout the Chinese-speaking world. Many international and pan-Asian broadcasters are based in Hong Kong, including News Corporation's STAR TV. Hong Kong's terrestrial commercial TV networks, TVB and ATV, can also be seen in neighboring Guangdong Province and Macau (via cable). [edit] RadioMain article: List of radio stations in Hong Kong
