ABSTRACT
In the last chapter, I argued that the Hong Kong news media, including broadcasting (though my major concern is with the press), were under state control, primarily because the owners and their managerial staff exercised control via the institutional structure, and professional routines and practices. Although the majority of the press accommodated the new regime, the response from publishers and journalists appears to have been varied. Some showed signs of resistance and even rebellious activities. Even more importantly, the public broadcaster seems to have been resilient and Hong Kong public opinion was not compliant.
