  • The cartoonist & the president: Harry Harrison & Lee Williamson unpack the year 2024

    The cartoonist & the president: Harry Harrison & Lee Williamson unpack the year 2024
    Dec 29 2024

    Journalist and broadcaster Laura Westbrook sits down with two members of the FCC for two very different perspectives on 2024 and the year that was. Harry Harrison might just be the last surviving daily editorial cartoonist in Hong Kong, and speaks about his favourite news moments of the year, the prospect of drawing Donald Trump for four more years, and the real-life backgrounds and stories of some of his regular characters. Hear also his choice of which of those characters he'd love to see turned into a giant inflatable for a special "mega event" in Hong Kong.


    FCC president Lee Williamson talks about 2024 and the FCC's return to its role in showing support for the community of journalists in Hong Kong: from the return of the annual journalism conference and its motto of "let's get to work" to the number of public statements issued by the FCC on behalf of the safety and welfare of journalists and the importance of press freedom. You'll also hear his personal highlights of the guest speakers who came to visit, from economists and political thinkers to Pulitzer Prize winning musician Wynton Marsalis and executive editor the New York Times, Joe Kahn.


    Written and produced by Jarrod Watt.

    Kriti Gandhi and Jay Ganglani: the future of news, GenZ and approaching news differently
    Dec 29 2024
    The Foreign Correspondents’ Club, Hong Kong announced a little while ago that Kriti Gandhi and Jay Ganglani are the recipients of the sixth annual Clare Hollingworth Fellowship, named in honor of the preeminent and path-breaking journalist. Listen in as they discuss why they chose careers in journalism at a time when the future of news appears mostly bleak. Hear them discuss how the changing news habits of GenZ will impact traditional news companies, and how their generation of journalists hope to shape the style of news coverage in the future. Presented and produced by Jarrod Watt.
