Group Protests Channel C’s Live-Streamed Nazi Salute, Says It Lacks Professional Knowledge and Oversight
團體抗議Channel C直播做納粹軍禮 稱欠專業知識、缺乏監管
Three cosplayers dressed as Nazi German soldiers and Adolf Hitler on the opening day of an anime festival recently. After a live interview, a Channel C reporter exchanged Nazi salutes with them, and was subsequently criticised by the Consulate General of Israel in Hong Kong for displaying ignorance. Channel C’s chief of news, former Hong Kong Journalists Association chair Chan Long-sing, personally apologised to Consul General Lam Tin-ming and Hong Kong’s Jewish community. The fallout continued this afternoon, when the “Defend Hong Kong Campaign Movement” displayed a banner protesting that Channel C’s apology was “superficial and hypocritical”, and said the incident reflected the media outlet’s ignorance of history, lack of professional knowledge and inadequate oversight.
三位Cosplayer日前在動漫節開幕日扮演納粹德軍和希特拉，Channel C記者在直播訪問後向他們互相做納粹軍禮，事後被以色列駐港總領事館批評是無知的表現。Channel C採訪主任、前記協主席陳朗昇親身向總領事藍天銘及本港猶太社群致歉。事件餘波未了，「保衛香港運動」今午拉橫額抗議Channel C道歉內容「膚淺、虛偽」，又稱事件反映該媒體對歷史無知，有欠專業知識且缺乏監管。
