Tammy Tam

Tammy Tam is the publisher of the South China Morning Post (SCMP), a prominent English-language newspaper in Hong Kong. She is a veteran journalist and has recently been appointed to Hong Kong’s Law Reform Commission as the media industry representative for a three-year term, beginning in March. This appointment makes her a key figure in shaping legal discussions and reforms within Hong Kong, bringing a media perspective to the commission's work. Her appointment is newsworthy as it highlights the intersection of media leadership and legal policy in Hong Kong. The SCMP, under her leadership, also co-organized the Spirit of Hong Kong Awards, recognizing individuals who contribute to the community. Furthermore, the SCMP's Operation Santa Claus campaign, a major fundraising initiative, recently raised significant funds for charitable projects and victims of the Tai Po fire, demonstrating the newspaper's broader social impact under Tam's direction.
