The FCC’s core mission is to promote and facilitate journalism of the highest standard, and to defend press freedom across the region. Faced with unprecedented attacks on the media, never has our club’s role been more vital – nor our commitment been stronger. We will do all that we can to ensure reporters and correspondents can operate without interference or interruption; speak out and stand up for our fellow professionals; and strive to provide the best resources and information we can to the community.
The Human Rights Press Awards, now in their 20th year, are the biggest journalist event on the Club calendar.
The FCC runs them along with Amnesty International Hong Kong and the Hong Kong Journalists Association.
