HK News Channel Forbids Staff From Donning Black

Pro-democracy lawmaker, Lam Cheuk-ting was arrested on August 26, 2020 on suspicion of rioting on 21 July 2019. Lam was known to be a victim among many other civilians that day in the Yuen Long 7.21 mob attack that day.

The public, much astonished, condemned the police for deliberately confounding right and wrong. Netizens called for civilians to “wear black” on August 27 to show their discontent to “police lies”.

Sources revealed that the management of Now TV issued a notice that reminded the news department and particularly reporters and news anchors to avoid donning black.

The reminder claimed that it is a "long standing practice" for reporters and anchors not to show up in front of camera in "any sensitive colors closely associated with social movement" in order to "show their neutral position".

The staff described this reminder from the management as a rare action, reflecting the lack of trust in reporter’s judgement and journalistic professionalism.
