	RTHK-Producers' Guidelines-contents-4.1
		The guiding principles for RTHK programme-makers will always be that the programmes we broadcast are accurate and impartial according to recognized standards of objective journalism.
		In Hong Kong, the Broadcasting Authority's codes of practice, which are applicable to RTHK and other broadcasters, stipulate that every current affairs or documentary programme dealing with controversial issues of public importance must attempt to be impartial.
		RTHK staff or regular presenters or reporters associated with news and public policy related programmes should normally not present personal platform programmes.

	Foreign Correspondents' Club Hong Kong - The Correspondent - Dec 01-Jan02
		Unfortunately for the RTHK news division, it does not have the legal protection from government pressure in the same manner the VOA is protected from interference by agencies of the US government.
		Since RTHK is a government department, it is possible, in theory, for the government to transfer people from RTHK to another bureau and replace him or her with another qualified civil servant.
		It was the rarity of an RTHK manager being sent to another bureau that doubts were raised about the real reason for her transfer.

	'Government not meddling with RTHK operations'
		Failing to see any anomaly in the exercise, she said the relationship between RTHK and the government was bound by a "framework agreement" that clearly stated the missions RTHK was expected to achieve.
		The government is not trying to hamper RTHK's editorial independence, she said, and it was best for the public to judge whether or not views expressed in some popular programmes reflected its voice.
		RTHK then informed the secretary for commerce, industry and technology and the Hong Kong Jockey Club about its decision that, Chu said, would be finalized only after the ongoing horseracing season ended.

		The attack on RTHK was made by Xu Si-min, a member of the standing committee of the Chinese People's Political Consultative Conference or CPPCC.
		Mr Xu described RTHK as a remnant of British rule, and accused it of being editorially against the government of the new Special Administrative Region or SAR, and the chief executive, Tung Chee-Hwa.
		RTHK responded with a statement saying its prime responsibility was to serve the public, and that reporting and analysing government policy was one of its important functions.

	AsiaMedia :: HONG KONG: Bureau rejects blame over RTHK
		RTHK's management problems should be the broadcaster's own responsibility rather than that of the policy bureau, Secretary for Commerce, Industry and Technology Joseph Wong Wing-ping said.
		But unless RTHK is taken over by us, it remains the department head's statutory responsibility to ensure the proper use of public funds," he told a Legislative Council Public Accounts Committee hearing yesterday.
		He said RTHK was aware that not only should it continue producing quality programmes, it also had to abide by the rules.

		But the proposal was criticized by the RTHK Staff Union, which argued, subsidies or not, the arrangement spelled trouble for public broadcasting.
		It also recommended the public broadcaster be fully funded by the government for the first three years, after which it would gradually depend more on outside sources of revenue such as donations and sponsorships, reducing government funding to 80 percent after 10 years.
		A spokesman for RTHK said it welcomed the report's consideration of the station as a "major" public broadcaster in the future but continued to urge more consultation on funding and regulatory arrangements.

		As such, it recognizes that its primary obligation is to serve the community of Hong Kong, and pledges to reflect the views of all sections of the population.
		RTHK is the broadcaster in the territory with the longest history of operation.
		Today editorial independence for RTHK is a pronounced government policy which is also enshrined in a "framework agreement" between the Commerce, Industry and Technology Bureau and RTHK.

		According to Xu, during the colonial era, RTHK was the faithful mouthpiece of the British colonial administration.
		The senior officials at RTHK are evil remnants of the British colonial era.

		RTHK, thought up as a local equivalent to the BBC during the colonial era, broadcasts some of the territory's most popular programmes.
		RTHK has not done that, but does air local news in a fairly objective manner.
		Given RTHK's prominence in public broadcasting in the city, it would be embarrassing, not to mention unwatchable, for the government to turn them into an unholy aural combination of CCTV and C-SPAN.

	AsiaMedia :: HONG KONG: RTHK to consult staff, public on cost cuts and programming
		RTHK management has formed a taskforce to consult staff and the public over the handling of cost cuts and programming issues following a row over government interference with the public broadcaster's editorial independence.
		Fears have been raised that the government has finally started to implement a plan to "tidy up" RTHK after it was revealed that the two sides had agreed to stop live broadcasts of horse racing.
		Janet Mak Lai-ching, chairwoman of the RTHK Programme Staff Union, welcomed the creation of the taskforce, saying tensions would be reduced if it was sincere in its efforts to gauge staff opinion.

		With its strong reputation for quality broadcasting, RTHK is considered a bellwether for press freedom in post-handover Hong Kong.
		Journalists in Hong Kong are worried that persistent pressure from Beijing to rein in RTHK may have contributed to your administration's decision to post Cheung overseas.
		RTHK has repeatedly come under attack by officials in Beijing, most recently in August when Tsang Hin-chi, a member of the National People's Congress Standing Committee, criticized the broadcaster for a program in which Taiwan's de facto envoy to Hong Kong defended President Lee Teng-hui's advocacy of "state-to-state" relations between the island and the mainland.

		RTHK Programme Staff Union chairwoman Janet Mak Lai-ching said the remarks by the chief executive and other senior ministers had shocked workers.

		RTHK, said Xu Simin, was a "remnant of British rule" that was unjustifiably biting the hand that feeds it.
		Even Tung, in his initial response to Xu's remarks, suggested that RTHK needed to present his administration's positions in a more positive light.
		Rather, the answer is for Tung and his top aides to make more skillful use of RTHK -- and other media -- to put their own case across.

		Three months ago RTHK was rebuked by Chinese Vice Premier Qian Qichen after it gave airtime to a senior Taiwan official in Hong Kong to explain President Lee Teng-hui's argument that relations with China should be conducted on a state-to-state basis.
		Insiders say Cheung agreed to go quietly on two conditions: that the government give an unequivocal public undertaking that the independence of RTHK would not be threatened, and that her longtime deputy, Chu Pui-hing, 51, be appointed to succeed her.

		There has been speculation the government will appoint a technocrat from the administration to succeed the retiring deputy director of broadcasting, Raymond Ng Shek-fai, as a means to rein in the taxpayer-funded broadcaster, with the deputy director-general of telecommunications, Gracie Foo Siu-wai, the favourite for the post.
		He admitted he would have to deal with the response from RTHK staff regarding the issue.

		Well, according to Xu, since RTHK is a public broadcaster 'funded' by the government, they should toe the bloody line - just like that alleged news agency, Xinhua.
		He said RTHK was a legacy, a hold-over from colonial days.

		Since Hong Kong's handover to China last year, RTHK and other local media have continued to operate freely despite fears of interference from Beijing.
		A recent poll shows that 86 percent of the public is opposed to government control of the media and 62 percent said RTHK should be free to criticize the government.

		SRS Circle Surround was employed by RTHK as the surround sound encoding technology to enable the delivery and preservation of these 5.1 surround sound effects over RTHK's two-channel stereo broadcasting system.
		Since CS encoding is backward compatible with all playback systems, including mono and stereo formats, RTHK listeners who have a Circle Surround or other matrix surround decoder installed, will hear a stunning 5.1 surround sound experience, while those listening over regular two-speaker stereo systems will hear the broadcast in enhanced stereo.
		RTHK joins this list of surround broadcasters and gains a competitive advantage in their marketplace by being able to offer surround sound to their listeners.

		Yet RTHK did carve out latitude to monitor the previous administration of Tung Chee-hwa, particularly during the SARS epidemic and the civil rights crisis created by the promotion of an "antisubversion" law called Article 23.
		Under the terms of the British handover, Hong Kong was to be given a guarantee of noninterference in its affairs.
