The world was watching Hong Kong as its sovereignty was returned to
China in 1997. Many predicted that it was the doomsday of press
freedom in the city. Now, a decade after the handover, this book
provides an up-to-date review of the dynamic relationship between
media and political power in the post-handover years. It covers
seven key issues including the mapping of the changing boundaries
of press freedom, the impact of media ownership change on editorial
stance, the development of national and hybrid identities, the
tension between self-censorship and media professionalism, the
rising importance of government public relations, the power and
limits of hegemonic discourse, and the countervailing force posed
by collective actions and public opinion. These studies combine to
reveal how the media are transformed as power structure is
reconfigured and how the media may act upon politics in exerting
their roles as the people's voice. The book will serve as a
reference for anyone who is interested in the evolution of
political communication in a transitional society.
