Wall Street Journal reporter Selina Cheng fired after becoming Hong Kong Journalists Association chair.
Wall Street Journal reporter Selina Cheng was fired after she was elected chair of the Hong Kong Journalists Association, a trade union advocating for press freedom. Cheng believes the real reason for her termination was her association role, as her supervisor told her that employees "should not be seen as advocating for press freedom in a place like Hong Kong." Cheng's dismissal raises concerns over the commitment of The Journal to protect media freedoms in Hong Kong.
