Notable News Anchor, Wendy, Man Tsoi Cheung severs ties with TVB to follow her conscience
The pro-democracy campaign in Hong Kong has been ongoing for more than 4 months. The TVB News so as its frontline reporters, have been unpopular with activists because of the biased reporting favors government, and became target of protesters to reflect their discontent against TVB.
With at least 8 staffs from the News and Information Division handed in their notice, sources (Appledaily) suggested that Wendy, Man Tsoi Cheung, Principal News Anchor/Reporter, who has worked in TVB for 10 years, also decided to sever tie with TVB to follow their dictates of conscience. Cheung is not a frontline reporter but as a news anchor, reporting politically-biased and fake news violates her conscience as a journalist. In fact, early in Jun 2019, she has demonstrated her support to the Hong Kong pro-democracy campaign on facebook - replacing her usual profit picture with “plain- black” and “black-and-white bauhinias”.
According to Cheung’s friend, Cheung kept on complaining about her work. Due to the wave of resignation, increasing workload and the agitation caused by being a TVB anchor, Cheung finally resigned from TVB with support from her “fireman hubby”.
In fact, besides Cheung, many staffs have been discontent with TVB. Recently, 48 nos. of TVB staffs, expressed their disaffection against TVB with staff cards posted on internet, spreading the word such as “Oppose Fake News” and “Keith, Yuen Chi Wai (Assistant General Manager, TVB News Division) Step Down”, which resulted in the dismissal of several staffs (including the staff calling for this move to blame News Division online) - dealing heavy blow in TVB.
