【決不虛作無聲】⁣ ⁣ 在全方位打壓下，一份屹立多年的異議報章步向末路。公司或許會倒閉，報章或許不能出版付印，但始終「人」才是新聞的基石，追求真相就是報道的動力。在萬般艱難下，專業新聞工作者的報魂正是照亮黑夜的明燈。⁣ ⁣ 在此，不如重溫一下石卷日日新聞的故事。⁣ ⁣ 1912 年創刊的石卷日日新聞，是日本宮城縣石卷市一間地區小報館，每日印刷量僅得 1 萬餘份。這份地區小報能成為報業傳奇，源於 2011 年的 311 大地震。⁣ ⁣ 大地震摧毀了日本東北部，大小城鎮一息間淪為頹垣敗瓦，石卷市也是其中之一。地震破壞下，石卷市市內水電供應中斷、交通受阻，救援間不容髮。報社辦公室同受波及，電力中斷、印刷機器損壞，無法正常的出版發行報章。⁣ ⁣ 危難之際，如何將災情、救援資訊第一時間送到萬千災民手中，成為報社的最大考驗。報社在總編輯武內宏之及一眾記者的堅持下，決定以最原始的手作方式，維持每日出版，為無法上網的災民，報道甚麽店舖如常營業、哪條道路可安全通過等重要資訊。⁣ ⁣ 報社記者每日以人手報道、抄寫 6 份報紙副本，並將副本送往市內各避難所，張貼於公佈欄上，供民眾閲讀。在 311 後，3 月 12 日至 17 日期間，石卷日日新聞無間斷、出版手寫號外，直至印刷機恢復正常運作為止。⁣ ⁣ 石卷日日新聞的使命感、專業精神備受推崇，獲得國際新聞協會特別獎、日本菊池寬獎等獎項肯定，手寫號外的原稿亦成為石卷 NEWSEE 館、美國 NEWSEUM 等博物館的館藏。縱使情況迥異，惟艱難則一。在此，感謝每位堅守崗位、為社會大眾報道求真的新聞工作者。⁣ ⁣ #茶杯社會萬象

"To suppress free speech is a double wrong. It violates the right of the hearer as well as those of the speaker." - Frederick Douglass, abolitionist and newspaper publisher This is hands down my absolute favorite museum in the world. The Newseum. Well, how can a communication major not be drawn to this museum? I know I know, there're plenty of good (and free) museums in Washington DC, but guys, I promise you that this is no regular kind of experience. I ended up spending two whole afternoons there during my two days trip and well, those were time very well spent. Each level of this building was packed with informative and thought-provoking exhibits. From the Berlin wall, the FBI exhibits, the 911 artifacts newspapers from all over the world, to the ethics and the Pulitzers, the museum took me through an emotional journey from history to today. It reminded me why the importance of the media, of the free press, and of protecting every inch of this freedom. If you're ever around Washington DC, spend as much time as you can there. It's totally worth it. . . . . . #createcultivate #wheretogoinwashington #newseum #massmedia #mediastudent #newshistory #freedomofthepress #freedomofspeech #washingtondc #pressfreedom #communityovercompetition #theeverygirltravels #theeverygirl #lightandshadow #newyorkmagazine #darlingescapes #womenwhoexplore #wearetravelgirls #sheexplores #foreveronvacation #thetravelwomen #thatsdarling #storiesbeyondwashington #darlingmovement #livethelittlethings #hkblogger #hkgirl #travelblogger #historymuseum #travelphotographer

#香港新聞博物舘 開幕了！原址必列啫士街街市，記錄香港新聞報業和電子媒體過百年歷史和貢獻，見證報導真相對社會的重要。看過美國華盛頓的 Newseum，香港版雖然小型得多，但也保留了很多重要歷史，值得一看。感謝May姐和一眾新聞界朋友的多年堅持和努力！
