The US-based Wall Street Journal let go of automobile and energy reporter Selina Cheng on Wednesday, coming after she was elected the head of the Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA) on June 22.

She further alleged that her editor told her that the Journal "should not be seen as advocating for press freedom in a place like Hong Kong, even though they can in Western countries, where it is already established."

The Journal's publisher, Dow Jones, said it doesn't comment on specific staffing issues but that it "has been and continues to be a fierce and vocal advocate for press freedom in Hong Kong and around the world." Cheng said the official reason she was given for her dismissal was corporate restructuring.

The WSJ's publisher, Dow Jones, said it doesn't comment on personnel issues but that the Journal "has been and continues to be a fierce and vocal advocate for press freedom in Hong Kong and around the world." Cheng said the official reason she was told was corporate restructuring.

Recent surveys show that 70% of Hong Kong journalists, some of whom have been put in jail, censor themselves due to pressure from the city's pro-China politicians. Cheng claims her firing is hypocritical given the WSJ's public support for its journalist Evan Gershkovich, who is in jail in Russia.
