【Vanished Voices ・ Stand News｜Let it be known that someone stays trying】
There are some Hong Kongers who keep dead news apps on their phones over the past year. Lam Yin-pong, former assignment editor with the now-defunct Stand News, returns to his new office to check on its renovation. It has been a few months since his old employer was raided, closed down and its senior management arrested by the Hong Kong police in December 2021. In April 2022, Lam launched his one-man news online platform. One thing that impresses him is the view from the windows of his new space. “I didn’t realize it when I decided to rent this room. It was only later that I found the windows open right onto the Lion Rock. There is a special meaning about the hill for most Hong Kongers.”

【Vanished Voices・Citizen News｜Former reporter Jacky: It’s a luxury to say goodbye】
At the tiny office of Create City Stories, a Youtube channel self-funded by former Citizen News reporter Jacky and his partners, video reports are being put together. Of all their projects, one notable example shows street interviews of secondary school students responding to an artwork insinuating the Tiananmen Square Massacre. Only 25% of the respondents identified the June 4 implication. Some thought it was about wildlife conservation. The video was made on the eve of a June 4 anniversary.

【Vanished Voices・Apple Daily｜Bros of Press Photography Part 2】
It was a cloudy summer day. Journalists from all media establishments in Hong Kong descended upon a corner of Tseung Kwan O where Apple Daily’s headquarters had been situated since 1998. Even citizens from all walks of life hurried here, waving goodbyes to the paper’s staffers within the premise.
The two chummy photojournalists, now apart in two cities, tell their stories of farewell.
