> A Hong Kong court found Dow Jones Publishing guilty of preventing reporter Selina Cheng from taking up a role at the Hong Kong Journalists Association, while clearing it of a second charge alleging dismissal or discrimination because of her union rights. Cheng was fired weeks after becoming the association’s chair, in a case that heightened concerns about press freedom in the city.
