Chan Pui-man joined #AppleDaily as a security reporter in 1996, a year after its founding, and became its first female editor-in-chief in 2015.
During the 2014 Umbrella Movement, pro-Beijing groups besieged the paper’s headquarters. In an article titled “I can be a news reporter for my whole life” (我可以做一輩子新聞記者), she declared: “This is a war to defend press freedom and Hong Kong. We will never surrender.”
