Local media and the former Commissioner of Police
出自香港新聞網 - 樹仁新傳系學生實習習作
In 1960s, Police was labeled as “authorized gangs” while the journalists was highly respected as an important inspector in the eyes of Hong Kongers. Ironically, a great change between these two parties nowadays. A former Police official shared this change with a group of University students.
Former Commissioner of Police, Dick Lee was invited to a seminar of a local University. He started his speech by stating a research on the credibility of the media and Police Force in Hong Kong done by Hong Kong University in 2006. He pointed out that media and Police Force had a great change in the Hong Kong people’s eyes.
Lee showed his understanding to the media nowadays as he has been looked down in the past. Police Force was greatly criticized by the corruption among officials in 1960s. Lee believed that the Police Force should be respected so that he joined the Force and hoped to make a change from within. He pointed out that media in Hong Kong should possess the same hope with him: determine to be changed.
‘Topics and headings are exaggerated,’ the former Commissioner of Police commented. He said that today media in Hong Kong, especially printed media is using loads of pictures and overstated headlines to attract readers. Most make him sick was the graphics about the replay of suicide and rape. He wondered how many people were influenced by these graphics and lost their lives.
Many businesses has set up their own Communication Departments in these years, Lee thought that this may related to the media in certain extent. ‘Today, Businesses, such as the Government deal with the community by themselves so as to balance the negative reporting from the media.’ Lee said. In Lee’s eyes, media should be unbiased and revealing the truth only.
In the end of the seminar, Lee encourage the media should determine to be changed, just as how the Police Force did in these fifty years. He understood that the media style of different media was a commercial decision but he strongly believe that media in Hong Kong could be changed, if they insist to be changed.
