HONG KONG: The Hong Kong police said that to assist frontline officers, the definition of “media representatives” under the Police General Orders will be amended.
After the amendment, “media representatives” will include reporters, photographers and television crews from media organisations that have subscribed for the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region Government News and Media Information System; or internationally recognised, well-known non-local news agencies, newspapers, magazines, TV and radio stations, according to a letter to several journalists’ groups from the police on Tuesday.
