Selina Cheng Kar-yue

Selina Cheng Kar-yue is a former reporter for the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) in Hong Kong. She recently gained attention due to a legal case involving her former employer, Dow Jones Publishing Co (Asia). The publisher was found guilty of violating Hong Kong's labor laws by illegally preventing Cheng from running for the chairmanship of a local press union. However, the court cleared Dow Jones of unlawful termination of her contract, suggesting her dismissal might have been part of a broader organizational decision. This case highlights ongoing labor rights issues within the media industry in Hong Kong and the challenges faced by journalists seeking to organize and advocate for their rights. Cheng's situation underscores the complexities of labor disputes and press freedom in the region.
