HONG KONG JOURNALISTS ASSOCIATION
The Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA) is the only industry-wide union of journalists in Hong Kong. It has roughly 500 active members which make up between one-sixth and one- quarter of the territory's journalists. From its beginnings in 1968 as a union with a high proportion of expatriate members, the HKJA is now perceived very much as a local union with about 70 per cent of membership being Chinese.
The HKJA promotes the right to freedom of expression and actively focuses on a range of press freedom and ethics concerns. Its trade union activities include issues of pay, labour disputes, health and safety and journalism training.
