About Hong Kong Free Press
Hong Kong Free Press (HKFP) is a non-profit company, limited by guarantee, without shareholders, founded in 2015 by British multimedia journalist Tom Grundy. It is primarily funded by reader contributions, crowdfunding, and content syndication, and publishes annual and transparency reports detailing its income and outgoings.
Hong Kong Free Press was established in 2015 to offer independent news coverage amidst concerns about declining press freedom and media self-censorship in Hong Kong. Media Bias/Fact Check rates HKFP as Left-Center biased due to editorial perspectives moderately favoring the left, while also rating it high in factual reporting with a clean fact-check record. The outlet operates in a challenging media environment, as press freedom in Hong Kong has significantly deteriorated, with Reporters Without Borders ranking the city 140th globally in 2025. HKFP's mission emphasizes credible, impartial, and independent journalism, with a focus on Hong Kong affairs and amplifying underrepresented voices. The headline sample reflects this focus on local governance, human rights, and regional issues.
