News and Media Research Division

The News Sub-division maintains direct contact with the media on a
24-hour basis. It disseminates government information to over 100
newspapers, news agencies, television and radio stations, and other
organisations.

The sub-division compiles a daily information bulletin in English and
Chinese, which contains about 20 of the more important press releases on
an average day. The bulletin is uploaded onto the government Home Page
on the Internet daily to give the public direct access to government press
releases.

The sub-division runs a 24-hour press enquiry service. It has a
comprehensive press library, holding press cuttings and copies of all
government press releases available for use by journalists, researchers and
students.

The Media Research Sub-division keeps the government fully informed of
public opinion as expressed in the information media. It produces daily
reports summarising news and editorial comments in the English and
Chinese press as well as on radio and television. It also produces special
reports on subjects of interest to the government.
