Chu Hai College journalism department cuts Stand News reporter’s mention of “police brutality” from promotional video; sources say professor Peter Wai Kwan made decision
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。
