【區選一年】民政審查區議會主席歡迎辭 要求刪走「中央政府」才准刊出
More than a year has passed since the district council turnover. InMedia reviewed the websites of the 18 district councils and found that only four had published welcome messages from their new chairmen. Sin Chung-kai, chairman of the Kwai Tsing District Council, said the district council secretariat had asked him to amend the wording “烽火”; it was only approved for publication after he provided repeated explanations. The chairman of the Yuen Long District Council, Zachary Wai Yin Wong, said he had submitted a draft at the beginning of this year, but it has still not been successfully published. He criticised Home Affairs Commissioner Yuen Ka-lok for requiring him to delete the words “Central Government” before it could be published.
區議會換屆已超過一年，獨媒翻查18區區議會網頁，發現18區中只有4區刊載了新任主席的歡迎辭。葵青區議會主席單仲偕指，曾遭區議會秘書要求修改「烽火」字眼，經多番解釋後才准刊出。元朗區議會主席黃偉賢更指自己在今年初已提交文稿，但至今仍未成功刊載，斥民政專員袁嘉諾要求他刪走「中央政府」字眼才准刊出。

《公教報》疑「河蟹」專欄文章 內容涉批評港府、警隊
The Hong Kong Catholic Commission for Justice and Peace, which has spoken out on democratic issues on numerous occasions, published a statement today accusing Kung Kao Po of deleting parts of its column article without its consent. The deleted content included criticism of the Hong Kong Government’s decisions during the anti-extradition bill movement and condemnation of the police for treating the value of human life lightly. In response to media enquiries, Kung Kao Po said it hoped the commission would respect its editorial autonomy, and denied receiving any instructions to “censor” the article.

攝影師稱採訪間被推跌 中大保安惡人先告狀、出手阻人離開
Yesterday, a CUHK graduate chanted Hong Kong independence slogans and displayed related publicity materials during a procession on campus. The university reported the matter to the police, and it was taken over by the Police National Security Department. Officers from the department entered multiple areas of CUHK in groups this afternoon (20th) to investigate, leaving after gathering evidence for more than an hour. During the operation, photographer Siu Wan said he was pushed down by a security guard wearing a reflective vest. The guard subsequently claimed instead that Siu Wan had pushed him down. The two argued, and the guard at one point reached out and grabbed Siu Wan to stop him from leaving. Both were taken by police officers to the CUHK Security Office for investigation. Siu Wan was ultimately not charged and left without incident.

上訴委員會有條件批准記協週日遊行 陳朗昇：防疫條件嚴苛，都要捍衛新聞自由
The Hong Kong Journalists Association applied to hold an industry gathering and march on Hong Kong Island on Sunday to protest the police’s arbitrary arrests of journalists and demand that a media option be added to the search mechanism, but the police issued a notice of objection. The Appeal Board on Public Meetings and Processions held an appeal hearing this afternoon. Its chairwoman, Chung Ching-wai, said the decision was extremely difficult. The board allowed the appeal but ruled that the association must obtain Chief Secretary for Administration Matthew Cheung Kin-chung’s approval by 14 November at the latest for exemptions from some anti-epidemic requirements, in order to comply with Section 5 of the Prevention and Control of Disease (Prohibition on Group Gathering) Regulation.

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.
據媒體報道，NowTV 新聞主管陳鐵彪疑以「個人認為不適合」為由，下令把立法會教育界議員葉建源就香港大學其中一名副校長受推薦人是否有黨員背景的質詢片段下架。由於下架做法罕見，令人擔心報道因觸及被指黨員身份而作自我審查，記協對事件表示關注，促請陳鐵彪先生進一步向員工及公眾詳細解釋今次的處理手法，以釋疑慮。

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.”
《Now 新聞》發出聲明，解釋早前下架教育界立法會議員葉建源，評論中共黨委申作軍傳出任港大副校長的片段。聲明指，決定是基於「審慎原則、作出若干編輯改動」。不過有《Now 新聞》員工向《立場》指，聲明仍然無法解釋下架的準則，直指主管陳鐵彪上任後「三番四次新聞部出事」，是「責無旁貸」。

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。

《理大圍城》被評三級 送審光碟退還成碎片 電檢處：在運行中光碟機內破裂
The documentaries 《Inside the Legislative Council Occupation》 and 《Inside the Red Brick Wall》, which were originally scheduled for release last month, were notified by the Office for Film, Newspaper and Article Administration (the Film Censorship Authority) two hours before screening that 《Inside the Red Brick Wall》 had been rated Category III. The authority also required notices to be shown before both films began. Distributor Ying E Chi Cinema (hereafter “Ying E Chi”) also disclosed that the submitted DVD disc for 《Inside the Red Brick Wall》 returned by the authority had been reduced to fragments. The authority responded to Ying E Chi yesterday (8th), explaining that the disc had shattered inside an “operating disc drive”. It immediately apologised to the distributor’s representative and stopped using the disc drive involved in the incident. Ying E Chi remained cautious about the explanation but had no intention of arguing further with the authority.
原定上月上映的紀錄片《佔領立法會》及《理大圍城》，在放映接獲兩小時被電影、報刊及物品管理處（電檢處）通知，《理大圍城》被評為三級，並要求兩齣電影在開始前加入告示，發行商「影意志影院」（下稱「影意志」）並透露，電檢處退還的《理大圍城》送審 DVD 光碟變成碎片。電檢處昨（8 日）回應「影意志」，解釋《理大圍城》光碟是在「運行中的光碟機」內破裂，處方已即時向發行商代表致歉，並即時停用發生事故的光碟機；「影意志」對說法有保留，但無意再與電檢處理論。
