The Hong Kong government has replaced the head of broadcasting at publicly-owned Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK). It also published a report that lambasted the operator for poor internal controls and lack of editorial accountability.
The broadcaster, which is technically a government department, has been criticized by the city’s pro-Beijing camp for much of the past two years. It has been accused of bias against the Carrie Lam government and against the police.
