Hong Kong – (C3) Transparency of data on leading news media

Score in short:

Not all news media outlets have disclosed their ownership structures, circulation information, and advertising revenues. Only the media organisations listed on the stock market have disclosed this information under the Securities and Future Ordinance.

Score in detail:

In Hong Kong, most traditional leading news media outlets are listed corporations or have listed corporations as their parent companies. They are obliged to disclose their interests and issues of substance to their shareholders and report their financial performance annually under the Securities and Future Ordinance. Such information can be found easily online. Some media organisations, such as Stand News and HKFP, have disclosed their leadership structure, although they are not legally required to do so.
