Hong Kong Free Press

Hong Kong Free Press (HKFP) is an independent, non-profit online news outlet based in Hong Kong, launched in 2015 in response to growing concerns about press freedom in the region. HKFP was founded with the goal of providing impartial, accurate reporting on Hong Kong’s political, social, and economic developments, especially as tensions increased between the territory and mainland China. The platform is known for its dedication to maintaining the highest journalistic standards and its commitment to safeguarding press freedom in a challenging media landscape.

HKFP covers a broad spectrum of issues, including human rights, governance, and local culture, focusing on stories that may be underreported or ignored by other media outlets due to political sensitivities. The news outlet is funded through public donations and crowdfunding campaigns, which supports its mission to remain fully independent and free from commercial and political pressure.

The outlet is particularly valued for its timely and comprehensive coverage of significant events such as the 2019-2020 Hong Kong protests, where it provided in-depth analysis, frontline reporting, and commentary on the implications for democracy and civil liberties in Hong Kong. HKFP continues to play a critical role in offering transparent and reliable news to both local and international audiences, making it a vital resource for understanding the complex socio-political landscape of Hong Kong.
