致各大傳媒編輯和記者朋友，
李敏妮 – 參選香港記者協會主席 – 新聞稿
本人李敏妮（Sherry Lee）宣布參選香港記者協會主席，並於2024年5月31日上午9時16分，親身遞交了提名表格，連同附檔政綱。
我參選的口號是「為傳媒堅持」，未來的重點工作是捍衛新聞自由，為記者發聲，令香港的傳媒發揮第四權，監察政府，反映社會時弊；傳承並延續記協不屈不撓的精神，保持不偏不倚的態度，努力爭取資金及社會人士支持，令記協能在新形勢下生存和發展；以及提升傳媒專業水平，令行業得到正面和有建設性的進步。
作為屢次獲新聞及人權獎項的資深傳媒人，本人深信只有香港的新聞和言論自由獲得保障，傳媒業界才可以真正為小市民發聲，捍衛弱勢社群，發揮傳媒第四權力量，監察政府和既得利益集團。只要傳媒業界能發揮專業精神，香港政府的政策才能以人為本，整個社會才得以進步，管治才可得到改善，香港才能成為一個安居樂業的國際大都會。
因此，若本人獲選，未來一年將會積極為香港捍衛新聞和言論自由，為小市民發聲！
現在本人呼籲各記協會員積極參與執委會選舉，並投票給我，讓我秉持傳媒專業操守，帶領香港傳媒工作者，繼續敢言發聲，令香港傳媒業走向康莊大道。現附上本人的中英文參選政綱給各大傳媒，並呼籲各傳媒機構支持本人，讓更多新聞工作者了解我的政綱內容。
若閣下是記協會員，歡迎致電 61587494聯絡本人，或電郵至 sherrypenmedia@gmail.com
自由是新聞的基石，沒有了自由，新聞就像鳥籠中的鳥，怎樣也不能起飛！未來的記協定必積極推動新聞和言論自由，把這隻鳥從籠中釋放出來！讓我們的報導能傲翔國際！

Press Release
Sherry Lee runs for the Position of Chairperson of the Hong Kong Journalists Association
To all media editors and reporters,
I, Sherry Lee, now announce my candidacy to run for the position of chairperson of the Hong Kong Journalists Association (HKJA). Today – 31 May – I submitted my nomination form along with the attached election platform in person at the HKJA office at Wanchai.
The slogan of my election campaign is “Standing Tall for Journalism”.
Firstly, if I am elected, I will strive to create impactful work that tackles the prevailing condition of press and journalism freedom in Hong Kong, and enable the media industry to exert the fourth right to monitor our government and shed light on societal issues. Secondly, I would wish to inherit the HKJA’s spirit of resilience and maintain its impartiality. I will also focus on fund raising in order for the HKJA to sustain. Thirdly, I will place my priorities on enhancing the professional standards of the media, enabling the industry to further achieve constructive progress.
As a veteran journalist who has won multiple news and human rights press awards, I firmly believe that only when Hong Kong’s freedom of expression is protected, can the media industry be the voice of people, and defend vulnerable communities. When the media profession upgrades its standards, it can lead to improvements in the government’s policies, making them more people-oriented. Society as a whole can progress, and Hong Kong can once again become an international metropolis where people live and work in peace and content.
Therefore, I urge all HKJA members to participate in the election of the Executive Committee and cast their votes in my favor. Once elected, I will uphold the professional ethics of the media, guide journalists to speak out courageously, leading the industry to a brighter future. I enclose herewith my election platform and eagerly call for your support to spread my message to all journalists.
If you are a HKJA member, please contact me at 61587494 or email to sherrypenmedia@gmail.com
Freedom is the cornerstone of Journalism. Without freedom, a journalist is no different to a caged bird that cannot fly out. In the future, the Hong Kong Journalists Association will actively protect freedom of the press and freedom of speech, enabling the bird to be released, and fly off to present its work to the world.
Sherry Lee
A veteran journalist
