WSJ Fires Reporter Over Hong Kong Press Freedom Role
TL;DR Summary
The Wall Street Journal has fired Hong Kong-based reporter Selina Cheng shortly after she was elected chair of the Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA). Cheng believes her termination is linked to her role at HKJA, which has faced accusations from state-backed media of destabilizing the city. The Journal cited restructuring for her dismissal, but Cheng claims she was pressured to quit the association. This incident highlights the growing risks and suppression of press freedom in Hong Kong under the national security law.
