HONG KONG—Staff of Hong Kong’s embattled public broadcaster were ordered on Wednesday to support national security and the interests of the Chinese regime and the Hong Kong government, the broadcaster reported, a move certain to stoke fears over press freedom in the city.
The only independent, publicly funded media outlet on Chinese soil, Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) has been broadcasting since 1928 and is sometimes compared to the British Broadcasting Corporation. Its charter guarantees its editorial independence.
