九龍城區隊明言要培養愛國體育人材 民主派警告或扣起撥款
The Kowloon City District Council’s District Football Team Working Group met in the afternoon. The Kowloon City District Sports Association applied to the council for HK$280,000 to enter the district football team in the Football Association’s Division Two competition for the 2020–21 season. Pro-democracy camp member Tsang Kin-chiu questioned why the association’s website introduction stated at the outset that its purpose was to “cultivate patriotic and Hong Kong-loving sports talent”, asking, “Why work so hard to bring politics into football?” Pro-democracy district councillors warned that funding might be withheld next year if the association failed to maintain political neutrality.

太古街坊包場睇《十年》 導演重看感心痛
The community organisation “Tai Koo Tung Nou Yan”, formed by Tai Koo residents, today booked out the Hong Kong Arts Centre to screen *Ten Years*, *The Great Learning* and *Inside the Red Brick Wall*, and invited the films’ producers and directors to share their experiences. Chow Kwun-wai, one of the directors of *Ten Years*, became visibly emotional at one point. He said he had felt desperate when he first created the film, but after experiencing the anti-extradition movement, he felt heartbroken yet exhilarated when watching *Ten Years* again: “You frontliners, you fellow protesters, you militant ones—you really gave me a great sense of exhilaration. I only make films; I only imagined it. What I did was insignificant, but you enacted it with your bodies.”

記協關注NowTV 疑自我審查 影響新聞自由
According to media reports, NowTV news chief Chan Tit-piu allegedly ordered the removal of a clip of Legislative Council education sector lawmaker Ip Kin-yuen questioning whether one of the recommended candidates for a vice-president position at the University of Hong Kong had a party-member background, on the grounds that he "personally considered it unsuitable." As such removals are rare, concerns have been raised that the report was self-censored because it touched on the alleged party-member identity. The Hong Kong Journalists Association expressed concern over the incident and urged Mr Chan Tit-piu to provide staff and the public with a further detailed explanation of how the matter was handled, in order to dispel concerns.

刪葉建源評港大副校人選疑為中共黨員片段 Now：基於審慎原則改動 員工：無法解釋準則
Now News issued a statement explaining its earlier removal of a clip in which education-sector Legislative Council member Ip Kin-yuen commented on reports that CCP party committee Max Zuojun Shen would become HKU vice-president. The statement said the decision was based on the “principle of prudence” and that “several editorial changes” had been made. However, a Now News employee told Stand News that the statement still failed to explain the criteria for removing the clip, saying that since supervisor Chan Tit-piu took office, “the news department has run into trouble time and again” and that he was “unable to shirk responsibility.”

珠海新傳系邀舊生拍宣傳片 《立場》記者提「警暴」被抽起 消息指教授關偉下決定
A promotional video published by Chu Hai College’s Department of Journalism and Communication on Facebook in early July this year featured several alumni filming short clips for departmental publicity. Stand News learned that a clip by Sam Choy, a Stand News reporter who had originally taken part in the filming, was removed after an internal preview. It was reportedly ordered removed by Peter Wai Kwan, a professor of professional applications in the department and associate dean of the Faculty of Arts, because the reporter had mentioned police brutality in the clip. In addition, Peter Wai Kwan publicly supported a journalist licensing system in September, prompting dissatisfaction among some alumni. Some asked for their promotional clips to be taken down, but the college did not act on the requests.
珠海學院新聞及傳播學系今年 7 月初在 Facebook 發布的宣傳片，邀請了多位舊生分別拍攝短片作學系宣傳之用。不過《立場新聞》得知，原本有份拍攝的《立場》記者 Sam Choy，其片段在內部試播後，遭新傳系專業應用教授兼文學院副院長關偉下令抽起，據悉是由於記者曾在片段中提及警暴內容。另外關偉曾在 9 月時公開支持記者發牌制，言論引起部分舊生不滿，有人要求將自己的宣傳片段下架，惟校方未有理會。
