《經濟學人》點名批大報香港媒體淪馴養獵犬


最新一期的《經濟學人》，除了指出英國政府不管香港自由收窄，是向中國「叩頭」（kow-tow）外；其另一篇報道則指出，香港的不少媒體雖然依舊「自由」，但已經漸漸失去監察政府的力度。( D. d* K+ z6 {% {: \

該篇題為<馴養的獵犬>的文章，提到特首梁振英，在提交到人大常委的政改報告之中，並未提及有數十萬人為爭普選於七一上街遊行，也沒有說超過七十萬香港市民參與佔中公投。tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb1 V& t) A/ [, r5 o1 E0 I) C

《經濟學人》指出，這樣的報告被部分人形容為為假諮詢，會被傳媒大肆攻擊，本來是理所當然的事。然而，文章認為香港報章最終的處理，卻是「小心翼翼的中立」（scrupulously neutral）。文章以《明報》為例，該報的大題，是政府並未排除公民提名，客觀效果就是冷處理了報告中的北京效應的推進。; T- i$ o5 N' u

文章認為，這樣的處理不能算是偏頗，但卻與勇敢發聲有很大距離；唯一的例外，是《蘋果日報》。這是因為，《蘋果日報》並不害怕失去廣告，因為它已經失去了包括匯豐、渣打等銀行大戶。這篇評論亦有提到，這個現象，很有可能與中聯辦的干預有關。

該報道還引用了《南華早報》聘請不少以前在中國媒體工作的高級編輯、時事評論員李慧玲被封咪及《明報》前總編輯劉進圖被斬的例子，說明香港媒體現正遭遇極大的壓力。TVBNOW 含有熱門話題，最新最快電視，軟體，遊戲，電影，動漫及日常生活及興趣交流等資訊。" P7 s9 D3 b! Q5 D$ I4 q
《經濟學人》認為，倘若收編傳媒真的是政府的策略的話，這種做法的長遠效果，實屬未知之數。現在的香港人，依然會走上街頭。更重要的是，他們依然會上網。香港的年青人，少看報紙，卻多在網上表達對政府的不滿。另一方面，不少記者，亦被逼「移民」上網，《主場新聞》便是其中之一。os.tvboxnow.com. n# z4 H1 B1 q1 y. W, t3 X. J7 w  w

因此，香港的主流媒體或正變得溫順，但香港人不是。

LEUNG CHUN-YING, Hong Kong’s chief executive, left out a few things in his latest report to his bosses in Beijing.On July 15th he told China’s national legislature how he believes the Hong Kong public wants to choose its leader in 2017, when a popular election is to be held under conditions controlled by Beijing.公仔箱論壇- I% l$ a! b( @5 x

In his report, Mr Leung claimed that the“mainstream” view in Hong Kong is that the candidates should be nominated only by a select committee, which happens to be what authorities in Beijing want too, to make absolutely sure the winner is someone they like. He failed to mention that on July 1st hundreds of thousands of people had marched for broader democratic rights, or that more than 700,000of Hong Kong’s citizens have just voted in an unofficial referendum for a more open nominating process.os.tvboxnow.com* H# p$ [6 y3 f.

Some called the report a sham, and in another era lively local media would have relished slamming it as such. But the press in Hong Kong, despite still being far freer than its counterparts on the mainland, has lost much of its punch. The Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA) said in a report this month that the past year had been “the darkest for press freedom” in several decades. Under “one country, two systems”, the formula used to govern the territory after the handover, Hong Kong was assured that its press would retain its former freedoms. However, it has been tamed in more subtle ways: ownership has shifted to pro-Beijing tycoons, and advertising has been used to exert pressure—as have violence and intimidation. According to a survey by the HKJA of 663 local journalists in 2012, 79% believed that self-censorship had risen since 2005, and 36% said that they or their supervisors practised it.公仔箱論壇5 D1 c1 Y' q  A6 W& u' _4 q1 V

Much of the coverage of Mr Leung’s report, while citing criticism from pro-democracy factions, was also scrupulously neutral in tone. On July 16th Ming Pao, usually one of the more robust Chinese-language newspapers, noted in its headline and lead paragraph of the story that Mr Leung’s report did not “directly” rule out the possibility of a broader public nomination of candidates for chief executives.This had the effect of playing down the report’s pro-Beijing thrust. The coverage could not be called biased, because it reported the reactions of all sides, but neither could it be called bold.tvb now,tvbnow,bttvb( [1 q8 K* ~4 e/ E6 @

One exception is Apple Daily, a lively tabloid accused by critics of being a tool of radical activists. On July 16thit published a front-page condemnation of Mr Leung’s report as “fake consultation” with citizens, and relayed an exhortation that the people “not stop fighting” for real democracy.

Apple Daily does not have to worry about losing big advertisers for its strident tone. It has already lost them. Last autumn three banks—HSBC, Hang Seng and Standard Chartered—ceased advertising with the newspaper(several big property developers stopped in 2003, another tense moment in relations with Beijing). Mark Simon, an executive with Apple Daily's media group, says the banks told him that the central government’s liaison office in Hong Kong had called for this. (The liaison office has denied it and the banks have said their decisions were commercially based.)) I0 t8 O9 {0 D7 Z, U

Other media outlets in Hong Kong do hit local officials hard at times. Occasionally they rile the Chinese government too. In2013 a cameraman from TVB, a television channel sometimes derided as “CCTVB”(after China Central Television, China’s state broadcaster) for its supine editorial line, showed unusual courage. With another cameraman, he accompanied an activist on an attempted visit to the home in Beijing of Liu Xia, the wife of an imprisoned Nobel laureate, Liu Xiaobo. The cameramen were beaten up at the scene.公仔箱論壇: _/ A7 O  m9 Z) K

But in the past two years several news organisations have experienced management shake-ups and worrying episodes of intimidation. The South China Morning Post, Hong Kong’s leading English-language newspaper, has recently installed a number of senior editors who have worked at mainland newspapers or agencies. Frustrated journalists at the paper tell of stories that are critical of China often being toned down or dropped altogether. In February Commercial Radio axed Li Wei-ling, a talk-show host who frequently takes the government to task; she accused her employer of bowing to government pressure in exchange for the renewal of its licence. In January Kevin Lau, Ming Pao’s chief editor, was removed, to the shock and anger of many of the paper’s reporters. Then, on February 26th, Mr Lau was nearly killed in a knife attack.公仔箱論壇. }5 c: J4 z" t' i

The motives for the attack on Mr Lau remain unclear, but its method, used by triad gangs, has become familiar to Hong Kong’s journalists. In 2013 two men with batons beat a magazine publisher. In another incident two attackers smashed the car window of the publisher of a free newspaper. He sped to safety but says he has since lost advertisers. In June 2013 a stolen car crashed into a gate outside the home of Jimmy Lai, Apple Daily’s owner. A machete and a hatchet were left behind.& Z( n+ y- R$ y* p0 v4 h1 N0 |

The effect longer-term of such tactics is unclear. Many residents have taken to the streets, and they may do so again.Perhaps more importantly, they have also taken to the internet, which is uncensored in Hong Kong. A younger generation, which reads fewer newspapers, uses social media to vent its frustrations and to organise collective action. Journalists have migrated online, too, setting up news websites such as the House News. The traditional press may now be docile,but that does not mean ordinary people are.

被人伏擊身中多刀的《明報》前總編輯劉進圖，住院近5個月後，今天第一次回到位於柴灣的《明報》辦公大樓，表示感覺「恍如隔世」，又指自己住院像「與世隔絕數個月」。

劉進圖的腳部神經線被斬斷，經手術駁回，在本周二出院回家，但仍需繼續做物理治療，復元過程漫長。《明報新聞網》形容，他今天下午2時許回到明報編輯部，腳上仍然套住腳套，左手拿着拐仗，雖然有點消瘦，但精神不錯。7 G% i: H6 R2 i# J

劉進圖說，今天回來《明報》辦公室，主要是和同事討論有關教育圖書的事務，亦看看自己的辦公室安排，他期望8月能恢復上班，每天工作半畫，因上午需要到醫院做物理治療。公仔箱論壇! u+ t- V2 }$ [& M- E( p
