網媒《巴士的報》刊登法庭內拍攝相片 司法機構：已交警方處理，不評論
On 19 November, online outlet The Bastille Post published an article alleging that social activist Tsang Kin-shing and a former assistant to Hui Chi-fung had formed a “queueing gang” that obtained queue tickets in a national security case and distributed them to foreign consulates and “yellow media”. It also published photos taken inside the courtroom and lobby of the West Kowloon Magistrates’ Courts, claiming that British Deputy Consul-General in Hong Kong Tou Ka-wing had “used” the group to obtain a ticket. The law prohibits photography inside courts. The Judiciary replied on the evening of 21 November that the matter had been referred to the police and declined to comment. The Bastille Post deleted the allegedly unlawful photos that evening, but did not remove the article. On 22 November, it replied that the blogging platform would handle the matter in accordance with legal and regulatory requirements.

記者手記｜遇上記者會「case by case」的特別安排
A few minutes before the press conference began, a member of the police media liaison team came to the reporters’ area looking for the Court Journal’s reporter. The officer said that the Court Journal was not a registered user of the Government News and Media Information System (GNMIS), and was therefore not allowed to remain in the reporters’ area or raise a hand to ask questions. The reporter could move to the public area instead. The officer pointed to a spot farther from the mic area, where it was almost impossible even to see the speaker’s face, let alone hear the remarks clearly or take photographs. After the reporter raised concerns, the officer indicated that the reporter could stay as long as they did not enter the reporters’ area or ask questions.
This was not the first time reporters had covered a press conference outside a court. After a sentencing last month in a case involving an insult to the national anthem, police also held a press conference outside Eastern Magistrates’ Courts. The Court Journal’s reporter stood with other journalists and covered it that day without any obstruction. Having encountered an arrangement as unusual as yesterday’s for the first time, the reporter asked the relevant media liaison personnel about the reason after the press conference ended, and also asked whether this was a newly added arrangement. The media liaison personnel said it would be handled “case by case”.
開始前數分鐘，有警方傳媒聯絡隊人員前來記者區尋找本刊記者，指《庭刊》並非政府新聞處新聞發布系統（GNMIS）登記用戶，不得留在記者區及舉手發問，可移至公眾區，對方手指向一個距離「咪兜」較遠的位置，該處連發言人的容貌都近乎看不見，遑論要聽清楚發言或拍照？記者提出關注後，對方示意只要不踏入記者區、不提問便可。
在法院外採訪記者會已非首次，上月底一宗侮辱國歌判刑後，警方亦在東區裁判法院外開記者會，本刊記者當日與一眾同業站在一起採訪，完全沒有受阻，首次遇到昨天這樣特別的安排，本刊記者遂於記者會完結後，向傳媒聯絡隊相關人員了解原因，亦關注是否「新加」的安排，傳媒聯絡人員表示會「case by case」處理。

《Tagline HK》發聲明 稱欠交接社交媒體敏感度 網民續退訂
The Instagram and YouTube accounts of online media outlet Channel C were suddenly renamed “Tagline HK” this Tuesday (July 22), triggering a wave of unsubscribes. The two accounts’ follower and subscriber numbers fell from approximately 360,000 and 700,000 respectively yesterday morning to about 320,000 and 690,000 this morning. “Tagline HK” issued a statement on Instagram Stories yesterday, saying the team had reflected on the matter, including its lack of sensitivity regarding the handover between the old and new platforms, failure to provide audiences with sufficient time to adapt, inadequate prior communication and failure to explain the situation clearly.
Channel C has faced reported financial difficulties since last year. This year, its parent company was also suspected of defrauding the government through the “100% Guarantee Special Loan”; a company director was arrested, employees were owed wages, and the company was subsequently placed under receivership. The original Channel C team secured a new investor to launch a new platform, Channel WE, which formally began operations this month.
網媒《Channel C》的 Instagram 及 YouTube 帳戶，在本周二（7月22日）突然更名《Tagline HK》，引起退訂潮。兩個帳戶的追蹤及訂閱人數，由昨早的約36萬及70萬，跌至今早的約32萬及69萬。《Tagline HK》昨日在 Instagram 限時動態發聲明，稱團隊已作反思，包括欠缺新舊平台交接的敏感度、無提供足夠時間予觀眾適應及事前溝通不足、未有清晰交代。
《Channel C》去年起傳出財困，今年其母公司亦涉嫌詐騙政府「百分百擔保特惠貸款」，公司董事被捕，員工被欠薪，公司及後更被接管。《Channel C》原班底則獲新投資者開設新平台《Channel WE》，本月已正式運作。

Channel C社交媒體帳戶被接手 更名Tagline HK 網民籲unfollow
The online media outlet Channel C has reportedly faced financial difficulties since last year. This year, its parent company was also suspected of defrauding the government over the 100% Guarantee Special Loan, its company director was arrested, employees were owed wages, and the company was subsequently taken over. Channel C’s Instagram and YouTube accounts, which had more than 410,000 and 730,000 followers respectively, were among its assets. Yesterday (July 22), both accounts were renamed Tagline HK, adopted a powder-blue colour scheme and described themselves as a brand-new media platform, prompting controversy. Some netizens urged people to unfollow them, and by this morning the two accounts had about 360,000 and 700,000 followers remaining respectively.

HKFP成立十周年 總編輯指縱減規模 感恩仍在新聞現場見證
This year marks the 10th anniversary of Hong Kong Free Press. In an interview on an online programme, HKFP editor-in-chief Tom Grundy said that although increasingly more issues were becoming sensitive, he believed there was no local hard news—local political and economic news—that could not be covered, and that the organisation could still report daily on what was happening in Hong Kong. He also said that although HKFP was currently reducing its scale, he did not believe it would reach a point where it had to close, saying, “We are still here.”
Sufficient reserves to support operations
Speaking on former Democratic Party chairwoman Emily Lau’s online programme, “ChatDP with Emily Lau,” Tom Grundy said HKFP was the first news organisation in Hong Kong to operate through crowdfunding after the Umbrella Movement, and that its operating costs had since been supported by donations. Although its operations had now been scaled back, it had recorded losses for four consecutive years and moved to a smaller office, he said it still had sustainable income and sufficient financial reserves to continue supporting its operations.
今年是Hong Kong Free Press成立的第十年，HKFP總編輯Tom Grundy在一個網台節目訪問時表示，儘管敏感的議題愈來愈多，但相信沒有不能做的「local hard news（本地政經新聞）」，仍可每天報道在香港發生的事情。他又認為，雖然HKFP現正縮減規模，但相信並不會去到需要關閉的一天，並指「We are still here（我們仍在這裡）」。
有足夠儲備支持營運
Tom Grundy在民主黨前主席劉慧卿的網台節目「ChatDP with Emily Lau」表示，HKFP是雨傘運動後香港第一個以眾籌形式營運的新聞媒體，營運成本其後由捐款一直支持。雖然現時營運規模縮減，財政連續四年虧損，亦搬到面績較細的辦公室，但他表示目前尚有可持續的收入及足夠資金儲備繼續支持營運。

網媒 Channel C 前員工 另組新媒體 Channel WE 陳朗昇：繼續報道香港人消息
Online media outlet Channel C has been suspended since April this year. A former Channel C staff member said it had successfully found a “white knight” supporter and would continue reporting on a new platform, Channel WE.
Channel WE published its first report this morning, concerning the release from prison this morning of former Stand News editor-in-chief Chung Pui-kuen. Chan Long-sing, formerly Channel C’s multimedia production chief (Hong Kong news), wrote on Facebook: “This platform is new; this platform’s first news report is this story, and it is also comforting. We will continue reporting the news, continue doing livestreams, and continue reporting news about Hong Kong people.”
網媒 Channel C 自今年 4 月起一直停運。有 Channel C 前員工透露，成功找到「白武士」支持，將會於新平台「Channel WE」繼續報道。
「Channel WE」今早已經發表其首篇報道，內容涉及前《立場新聞》總編輯鍾沛權今早出獄的消息。前 Channel C 多媒體製作主任（港聞）陳朗昇在 FB 發文：「這平台，是新的；這平台，第一則新聞是這個消息，也是令人安慰的；我們繼續報新聞、繼續做直播、繼續報道香港人的消息。」

【影意志獨立短片獎】陳朗昇受訪紀錄片奪銀獎 評審：沉重之餘見不願放棄的生命力
The results of the inaugural [[影意志獨立短片獎]] were announced on Wednesday night (2nd). “A Spark Cannot Set the Prairie Ablaze”, directed by Cheng CC and documenting former Hong Kong Journalists Association chair Chan Long-sing, won the Silver Award. “My Pen Is Blue,” directed by Shao Zhi-en and focusing on people released from prison over social movement-related cases, won the Gold Award. Director Lam Sam, one of the judges, described the former as a rare documentary that shows not only the heaviness and helplessness of reality, but also a will to live on without giving up.
Vincent Chui, the artistic director of [[影意志獨立短片獎]], read the acceptance speech on behalf of the director of “A Spark Cannot Set the Prairie Ablaze”. The director said they had spent several years filming the ups and downs of, and perseverance shown by, many Hong Kong journalists. However, after Chan Long-sing received a warning and “A Spark Cannot Set the Prairie Ablaze” withdrew from overseas screenings, they had given up producing feature films. The director said the Hong Kong Journalists Association was still persevering under difficult circumstances, and offered blessings to everyone preserving their will amid adversity.
第一屆影意志獨立短片獎周三（2日）晚公佈賽果，由Cheng CC執導、紀錄前記協主席陳朗昇的《星星之火・不可燎原》奪得銀獎，邵知恩執導、以社運出獄人士為題材的《My Pen Is Blue,》則奪得金獎。評審之一的導演林森形容，前者是一部難得的紀錄片，不只見到現實沉重和無奈，亦見到不願放棄的生命力。
影意志藝術總監崔允信為《星星之火・不可燎原》導演讀出得獎感言。導演指自己在幾年間拍攝了很多香港記者的起跌和堅持，但在陳朗昇收到警告、《星星之火・不可燎原》退出海外放映後，已放棄了製作長片；不過，導演指記協仍然艱難地堅持著，並祝福所有在逆境中保存意志的人。

網台《香港花生》公司及主持同被「查稅」質疑有針對性
The Hong Kong Journalists Association held a press conference yesterday, saying the Inland Revenue Department was pursuing tax matters involving at least eight media outlets and organisations and 20 people, with the total amount exceeding $1.7 million. On last night’s programme of the Hong Kong Peanut online platform, one of its hosts, Andrew Kwan Hang To, disclosed that he personally, his company, Hong Kong Peanut and almost all of the platform’s hosts, including Wong Ho-ming and Dickson Chau, had received similar requests for a “tax investigation”. Each case involved an amount of tens of thousands of dollars, and he believed there was a targeted element to those selected for the “tax investigation”.
記協昨日舉行記者會，指稅務局向至少8個媒體及機構，共20名人士追查稅項，合計款項逾170萬。網台《香港花生》昨晚的節目中，主持之一陶君行透露，他個人及其公司、《香港花生》及該網台幾乎所有主持，包括黃浩銘及周嘉發等，皆接獲類似「查稅」要求，每宗涉及金額達數萬元，認為納入「查稅」的對象有針對性。
