ABSTRACT
Reporters for Hong Kong’s free, open and diverse press are coming to understand that pieces that may appear “unfriendly” to Beijing affect both their parent company’s chances of getting into China’s rapidly expanding media markets as well as their immediate employer’s ability to survive in Hong Kong after China assumes power on July 1, 1997. Many reporters quite honestly confess that they feel caught in a growing tendency toward self-censorship. In a meeting at The Freedom Forum Asian Center, members of the Hong Kong press corps offered these views.
