Reporter Selina Cheng lost her job at The Wall Street Journal after refusing to withdraw from the Hong Kong Journalists Association chair election, highlighting the challenges faced by journalists advocating for press freedom in the region.
This incident sheds light on the shrinking space for media freedom in Hong Kong post the Beijing-imposed national security law, leading to the closure of critical news outlets and increasing pressure on journalists to conform.
Dow Jones confirmed personnel changes but did not address Cheng's case specifically, emphasizing The Wall Street Journal's support for press freedom amidst the challenging environment in Hong Kong.
