News happens around us every day, not only conveying information, educating the public, and preserving cultural history, but also reflecting the pulse of our times and documenting history. Each news story may also leave a unique imprint on our lives. With this in mind, the Hong Kong News-Expo is organising the “My News Diary” Photography Competition, inviting primary, secondary, and tertiary students across Hong Kong to capture events or significant moments in their surroundings through a journalistic lens. Participants will use photography and written descriptions to express their perspectives, observations, and reflections on society, thereby nurturing their news sensitivity and critical thinking skills.<\/p>
