Student Voices
HKU Journalism has provided me with many
opportunities during my time as a student,
equipping me with the skills needed to capture the
first rough draft of history.
During my time there, I was given the opportunity to
work with the Associated Press and Agence
France-Presse, which allowed me to cover the 2019
Hong Kong protests among other stories. Through
this baptism by fire, I was given the chance to
witness and record history as it unfolded, which
would not have been possible without the education
and opportunities provided by HKU Journalism.
The past few years have been an interesting time to
study journalism in Hong Kong, as the city faced
protests, pandemic, and political change within the
short span of three years. Despite this, I am grateful
to my HKU professors, staff and fellow students for
equipping me with the necessary skills to forge a
career in journalism in these uncertain times.
