Nobody enjoys hitting a wall, especially one that asks you to pay before you can read an article online. But despite how much you hate paywalls, they will be either here to stay or gone with the newspapers altogether.

He has covered China since 1975 and published multiple books on the country. I interviewed him on the US election day in the U.S. Consulate General Hong Kong & Macau, where he gave a speech on the election and US politics.[/author_info] [/author]   We've heard a lot about China during the US presidential election, what about Hong Kong in particular – what does the election result mean to Hong Kong? I think across the board, America has an interest in seeing "one country two systems" work.

The New York Times bureau in Hong Kong is tiny: a longtime local news assistant and me. In addition to serving as Hong Kong bureau chief, I carry a second title that is more indicative of my actual responsibilities: senior writer for Asian economics and business. My title as Hong Kong bureau chief only means that I am the most senior (actually, the only) foreign correspondent for the newspaper in Hong Kong, and should not be taken to mean that I focus primarily on Hong Kong news.

When Newsweek editor-in-chief Tina Brown announced in mid October that the 80-year-old weekly would drop its print edition and go all digital in 2013, the whole print industry reacted as if journalism had lost yet another battle against the internet.
