Varsity Report on Care Teams Draws Attention; HKJA Says CUHK Staff Faced Systematic Attacks by Same Users Who Harassed Journalists Last Year
《大學線》報道關愛隊後惹關注 記協：中大教職員遭系統性攻撃 跟去年滋擾記者用戶相同
Varsity, a student-run internship media outlet of CUHK’s School of Journalism and Communication, published a report titled “None of Our ‘Care’” earlier this month examining the effectiveness of Care Teams. It noted, among other things, that the teams’ work and financial reports were not made public and could not be accessed by the public. Students also used hidden cameras to film activities and subsequently questioned volunteers as well as officials from the Home and Youth Affairs Bureau. The Hong Kong Journalists Association said in a survey released yesterday (the 26th) that, four days after the report was published on 3 January, a series of posts and images targeting Varsity, the relevant institution and its staff appeared on Facebook. The posts accused Varsity’s report of generalising from limited information and taking statements out of context, and alleged that CUHK School of Journalism and Communication staff responsible for Varsity were supporters or instigators of “black violence”. The association also said that, in the action targeting Varsity, the users who published at least two of the earliest posts were the same users who posted to harass journalists last year.
中大新聞與傳播學院學生實習媒體《大學線》在月初發表〈事不「關」己〉報道，探討關愛隊工作成效，包括指出關愛隊工作及財務報告並不公開，公眾無法查閱；學生亦曾經以隱蔽鏡頭拍攝活動過程，事後向義工、以及民政及青年事務局官員查詢。香港記者協會昨（26 日）發表調查，指報道在 1 月 3 日出街後四日，Facebook 出現一系列針對《大學線》、相關院校及教職員的帖文和圖片，帖文指責《大學線》報道以偏概全、斷章取義等，又指控負責《大學線》的中大新聞及傳播學院教職員為「黑暴」支持者或推手。記協並指，在今次針對《大學線》的行動中，至少兩個最早出現的帖文，其發表者跟去年發帖滋擾記者的用戶相同。
