GE2018-53
Located at the former Bridges Street Market in Central District, the Hong Kong News-Expo (HKNE) is recently established as Asia’s first public news media education centre. The heritage building itself was among the first batch of public markets built after the end of World War II and was opened in 1953. And the Bridges Street neigbourhood has a deep, historical connection to the development of Hong Kong press, where most of the first offices of Hong Kong’s earliest newspapers were located. Moreover, the building sits partly on the former site of the American Congregational Mission Preaching Hall, where Dr. Sun Yat-sen was baptised in the 1880s.
