      Designed especially for students - and welcome to all media professionals - the tour day kickstarts with a visit to an independent Hong Kong media startup that aims to provide a platform immune to commercial and political pressures. Then chat over lunch with a veteran editor about the tricky tightrope editors here face when reporting on local and Mainland issues. After lunch, head north to either an English- or Chinese-language publication for a rare glimpse into how they produce the news for their target audiences. Whether you are a local student from Hong Kong or the Chinese mainland, or a foreign student attending N3Con for the first time, you’ll be surprised by just how much goes into the production of daily news and marvel at the various editorial innovations spearheaded by these newsrooms. SOLD OUT. DEADLINE TO SIGN UP FOR TOUR B IS MAY 23 @ 5PM HKT. https://www.n3con.com/2018/2018/05/10/tour-hong-kongs-leading-newsrooms-at-n3con/
