Contributing sentiments towards policy:

63% : Exodus of Hong Kong media workers One year after Beijing imposed the NSL in Hong Kong on June 30, 2020, pro-democracy Apple Daily and Stand News were alleged to have committed the offence of foreign collusion and sedition and forced into shutdown.
41% : Those who continue working in the media field tend to have a strong commitment to filling the gap in heavily restricted information flows in Hong Kong under the national security regime, which has criminalised political criticisms as "inciting subversion" under the NSL or "sedition" under the domestic Article 23 security law.
