Hong Kong experts fear censorship from media audit – AFP

From AFP via Taipei Times (link):

Hong Kong media experts yesterday expressed fears for freedom of speech after the government unveiled plans to set up an audit team to monitor the territory’s public broadcaster.

The Audit Commission released a damning report on Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK) on Wednesday highlighting its poor financial controls, management problems and its failure to comply with government rules and procedures.

The internal audit team, which includes audit staff members from the government-funded broadcaster, will be led by the Hong Kong Treasury and the Audit Commission.
