  9-Nov-06  調查顯示，電視和報章仍然是市民的主要新聞來源，電台第三，互聯網第四，雜誌第五。新聞傳媒整體表現的滿意程度，在過去半年基本上沒有變化。不過，巿民對電台表現的滿意度就明顯從高位回落，對雜誌的不滿程度就繼續上升至本調查系列在1993年開始以來的新高，香港的新聞雜誌應該好好反省。此外，調查又發現，互聯網作為新聞來源的作用繼續緩緩上升。在最新調查中，有一成巿民認為互聯網是他們的主要新聞來源。
Our survey shows that television and newspapers continue to be people's main sources of news, followed by radio, and then the internet. People's appraisal of the news media in general has not changed much over the past six months. However, their satisfaction with the radio has dropped after reaching a high point, and their dissatisfaction with news magazines continues to climb, to another record high since this survey series started in 1993. It is high time that our news magazines reflected on themselves what should be done. Another observation of our latest survey is that the importance of the internet continues to grow, slowly but steadily. One in ten people now take internet as their main source of news. 
  17-Oct-06  巿民對新聞傳媒整體公信力的評分，在過去半年繼續下跌，現已跌至貼近三年前的低點，相信與偷拍藝人更衣照片的討論不無關係。對比半年前，認為傳媒充分發揮言論自由的比率改變不大，但認為傳媒有誤用新聞自由和報道不負責任的比率都明顯上升5個百分比，前者更加直逼1998年11月時錄得的歷史高點75％。至於新聞傳媒自我審查方面，對比半年前，認為傳媒批評中央政府時有顧忌者明顯上升7個百分比，但認為批評特區政府時有顧忌，或整體來說有自我審查者，都沒有太大變化。如何確保香港的新聞傳媒繼續擁有新聞言論自由，而又不被誤用或濫用，繼續是香港社會要面對的問題。
The credibility rating of the local news media continues to drop in the past six months, now very near to the previous low recorded three years ago. The recent paparazzi case of a singer changing clothes has apparently taken its toll. Compared to six months ago, those who said the media had given full play to the freedom of speech has not changed much, but those who said the media had misused press freedom, and being irresponsible in their reporting have surged by 5 percentage points. The former percentage is now near the record high of 75% recorded in November 1998. As for self-censorship, compared to six months ago, those who thought the media had scruples when criticizing the Central Government have gone up by 7 percentage points, but those who said the media had scruples when criticizing the HKSAR Government, or had practiced self-censorship on the whole have not changed much. The question of how to preserve press freedom without it being misused or abused, still remains to be an important question Hong Kong society has to face. 
  11-May-06  調查顯示，電視和報章仍然是市民的主要新聞來源，電台第三，互聯網第四，雜誌第五。市民對新聞傳媒整體表現的滿意程度，在過去半年略為下跌，主要是因為對文字傳媒的評價下降。半年來，巿民對報章的滿意程度下跌7個百分比，而對雜誌的不滿程度則上升至本調查系列在1993年開始以來的新高，有四成二巿民不滿雜誌的表現。香港的新聞雜誌如何提升自己的質素和建立公信，已經是一個急不容緩的問題。
Survey shows that television and newspapers continue to be people's main sources of news, followed by radio, and then the internet. People's appraisal of the news media in general has dropped a little over the past six months, mainly due to growing dissatisfaction with the print media. Over the last six months, people's satisfaction with newspapers dropped by 7 percentage points, while their dissatisfaction with news magazines climbed to 42%, which is record high since this survey series started in 1993. Exactly how our news magazines can improve themselves to gain credibility has become a very pressing problem. 
  18-Apr-06  巿民對新聞傳媒整體公信力的評分，在過去五個月明顯下跌，推敲原因，綜合幾項指標的發展或可略知一二。巿民對新聞自由的滿意程度和認為新聞傳媒有充分發揮言論自由的比率都明顯上升，認為新聞傳媒有自我審查的比率又明顯下跌，但是認為新聞傳媒有誤用或濫用新聞自由，及報道不負責任的比率則明顯上升，後者的變化幅度更是各項指標之最。因此，新聞傳媒整體公信力下降，可能與它們濫用新聞自由進行不負責任的報道有關。
The credibility rating of the local news media in general has dropped significantly over the last five months, the reason may be traced from a number of indicators. On the positive side, people's satisfaction with press freedom has increased, those who considered the news media had given full play to the freedom of speech have also increased, while those who considered the media had practised self-censorship have dropped. On the negative side, however, those who believed the news media had misused or abused the freedom of press have increased significantly, so were those who said the media had been irresponsible in making their reports. The latter actually registered the biggest change in terms of magnitude across all indicators. In other words, the decrease in the media's general credibility might well have been due to their perceived abuse of press freedom and their production of irresponsible reports. 
  22-Nov-05  巿民對新聞傳媒整體公信力的評分，在過去三個月明顯增加；對香港新聞自由的滿意程度，及認為新聞傳媒報道盡責者就略為增加。不過，主流意見仍然包括正反兩面。一方面認為傳媒有發揮言論自由，但另一方面又認為傳媒有濫用新聞自由。此外，認為傳媒存在自我審查者亦明顯增加，主要是認為傳媒在批評中央政府時有所顧忌。
The credibility rating of the local news media on the whole has increased significantly over the last three months, while people's satisfaction with the freedom of the press and those who said the media has behaved responsibly in producing stories have both increased slightly. People's general evaluation, however, still remains two-sided, as most people believe that the media has given full play to the freedom of speech, but has also abused that freedom some of the times. On the other hand, the number of respondents who said the media practices self-censorship has significantly increased, mainly because they thought the media has become apprehensive when criticizing the Central Government. 
  27-Oct-05  市民對新聞傳媒的評價，在過去半年變化不大，電視和報章仍然是市民的主要新聞來源，電台第三，互聯網第四。論滿意程度，電視仍然首屈一指，然後是電台、報章，雜誌則明顯偏低。
People's appraisal of the news media has remained the same over the past six months. Television and newspapers continue to be people's main sources of news, followed by radio, and then the internet. In terms of satisfaction, television continues to top the list, followed by radio, newspapers, and then magazines which are always at the lower end. 
  23-Aug-05  巿民對新聞傳媒的負責任程度以及整體公信力的評價，在過去三個月錄得輕微跌幅，對香港新聞自由的滿意程度，以及傳媒處理新聞自由的評價，則變化不大。認為傳媒有充分發揮言論自由，和有誤用或濫用新聞自由者，各有六成半左右。值得注意的，是認為傳媒有和沒有自我審查的比率雖然各佔四成，但認為傳媒在批評中央政府時有顧忌者則上升到六成，與認為傳媒在批評特區政府時沒有顧忌的比率相同，形成強烈對比。
People's appraisal of the local news media in terms of their responsibility in news reporting and overall credibility has dropped slightly over the last three months, but their satisfaction of Hong Kong's press freedom and the way the press have handled it has not changed much. About 65% said the media have given full play to the freedom of speech, but roughly the same number said they have misused it. It should be noted that although 40% both ways considered the media have and have not practiced self-censorship, 60% said the media became apprehensive when criticizing the Central Government, which is in sharp contrast to the 60% who said the media have no such hesitation in criticizing the SAR Government. 
  24-May-05  巿民對新聞傳媒整體滿意程度和公信力的評價，在過去一年都變化不大。最新調查繼續顯示，巿民對傳媒處理新聞自由方面的評價，仍然是意見兩面：一方面認為傳媒有充份發揮言論自由，但另一方面亦認為傳媒有誤用或濫用新聞自由。巿民普遍滿意香港新聞自由的程度，但認為新聞傳媒報道負責的，只屬少數。對於新聞傳媒是否存在自我審查，巿民的感覺可謂正反參半，大部分認為傳媒在批評中央政府時存在顧忌，但對批評特區政府則沒有顧忌。至於不同類別的新聞傳媒，電視和報章仍然是市民的主要新聞來源，電台第三，但就受到互聯網挑戰。論信任和滿意程度，電視仍然首屈一指，而雜誌則明顯偏低。
People's overall appraisal of the news media, both in terms of satisfaction and credibility, has not changed much over the year past. Our latest survey shows that their appraisal of the media's practice of press freedom continues to be two-sided. That the media have given full play to the freedom of speech, but that they have misused or abused press freedom, are both majority views. People are generally satisfied with the degree of press freedom in Hong Kong, but only a minority considers the news media responsible in their reporting. Regarding self-censorship, people's perception is divided. Most feel that the media become apprehensive when criticizing the Central Government, but few think that they become apprehensive when criticizing the SAR Government. On specific types of news media, television and newspapers continue to be people's main sources of news, followed by radio, which is increasingly challenged by the internet. In terms of trust and satisfaction, television continues to top the list, with magazines always on the low. 
  24-Feb-05  巿民對新聞傳媒公信力的評分，以及對新聞自由的滿意程度，在過去3個月明顯上升，但對傳媒處理新聞自由方面的評價，仍然是意見兩面，一方面認為傳媒有充份發揮言論自由，但另一方面就認為傳媒亦有誤用或濫用新聞自由。不過，認為有濫用新聞自由者，在過去3個月明顯下跌。至於傳媒的負責任程度和自我審查方面，巿民的感覺可謂正反參半，當中以負面的評價略多。認為傳媒批評中央政府時有顧忌的比率，遠遠高於認為傳媒批評特區政府時有顧忌的比率。巿民這種感覺，在回歸後一直存在。
People's rating of the overall credibility of the news media, as well as their satisfaction with Hong Kong's press freedom, have increased significantly over the past 3 months. However, their appraisal of the media's practice of press freedom continued to be two-sided. That the media have given full play to the freedom of speech, and that they have misused or abused press freedom, are both majority views, although the negative view has subsided somewhat over the last 3 months. Regarding the media's degree of responsibility and self-censorship, people's perception was divided, with slightly more people on the negative side. Many people felt that the media became apprehensive when criticizing the Central Government, but few thought that they became apprehensive when criticizing the SAR Government. This pattern has persisted since the handover. 
  18-Nov-04  最新調查顯示，市民不滿新聞自由的比率，在『封咪事件』導致急升後持續回落，差不多已經回復到事件發生前的水平。不過，滿意比率則仍然在五成左右徘徊，持『一半半』意見者明顯上升。市民對新聞傳媒處理言論及新聞自由方面的評價，仍然是意見兩面，一方面認為傳媒有充份發揮言論自由，但另一方面就認為傳媒有誤用或濫用新聞自由，而認為有濫用新聞自由者，在過去3個月明顯增加，可能與立法會選舉報導有關。不過，市民對香港新聞傳媒整體公信力的評價，則沒有太大的改變。
Our latest survey shows that people's dissatisfaction with Hong Kong's press freedom continued to subside, after its surge due to the departure of some outspoken radio talk show hosts. However, satisfaction rate continued to fluctuate at around 50%, meaning that many more people have opted for a 'half-half' attitude. People's appraisal of the news media continued to be double-sided. That the media have given full play to the freedom of speech, and that they have misused or abused press freedom, are both majority views. The negative view, however, has increased significantly over the last 3 months, probably due to Legco election stories. The credibility of the local news media in general, however, has not changed much. 
  24-Aug-04  最新調查顯示，市民不滿新聞自由的比率，在『封咪事件』後曾經急升，但已開始回落，而滿意者則保持在一半以上。市民對新聞傳媒處理言論及新聞自由方面的評價，仍然是意見兩面，一方面認為傳媒有充份發揮言論自由，但另一方面就認為傳媒有誤用或濫用新聞自由。不過，認為有濫用新聞自由者，在過去3個月有明顯下降，屬於正面發展。新聞傳媒如何報導選舉新聞，將會影響市民下一輪對傳媒的評價。
Our latest survey shows that people's dissatisfaction with Hong Kong's press freedom has subsided, after its surge due to the departure of some outspoken radio talk show hosts. Consistently more than half are satisfied. People's appraisal of the news media continued to be double-sided. That the media have given full play to the freedom of speech, and that they have misused or abused the freedom of press, are both majority views. A positive sign is that those who said the media have misused or abused the freedom have dropped significantly over the last 3 months. There is little doubt that people's next round of appraisal would depend on how our news media report election news. 
  18-May-04  市民對新聞傳媒處理言論及新聞自由方面的評價，仍然是意見兩面，認為傳媒有充份發揮言論自由、及有誤用或濫用新聞自由者，同樣超過六成，但認為新聞傳媒的報道不負責任者則比負責任者略多。值得一提的，是市民不滿新聞自由的比率，在過去3個月明顯上升，可能是受到電台名嘴『封咪事件』波及。」
people's appraisal of the news media continued to be of dual nature, as those who said our news media have given full play to the freedom of speech, and those who said they have misused or abused the freedom of press, both exceed 60%. Slightly more people consider the news media to be irresponsible, rather than responsible, in their news reporting though. One important point to note is that people's dissatisfaction rate of press freedom has increased significantly in the past 3 months, probably due to the spill-over effect of the departure of some outspoken radio talkshow hosts. 
  24-Feb-04  回歸後首三年，市民對本地新聞傳媒盡責程度的評價普遍下降，負面評價在2000年初曾經一度超過正面評價接近40個百分比，但近年有所收窄，最近是9個百分比。對於傳媒處理言論及新聞自由方面，則一直是意見兩面。雖然有較多市民認為新聞傳媒有發揮言論自由，但亦有不少市民認為傳媒有誤用或濫用新聞自由，正正反映了香港傳媒的多樣化和參差度。
In terms of the degree of responsibility shown by local news reporting, people's appraisal of our local news media plunged in the first three years after the handover. At the beginning of 2000, negative opinions outweighed positive ones by almost 40 percentage points. The margin has since then narrowed, it was 9 percentage points in our latest survey. Regarding the media's handling of freedom of speech and press, there have always been two strong opinions. On the one hand, many people considered our news media to have given full play to the freedom of speech, but many, although slightly less, people said they had misused or abused the freedom of press. This reflects the diversity of our media, both in terms of variety and professionalism. 
  19-Aug-03  市民對新聞自由的滿意程度，亦已回落至梁錦松加稅前買車事件及非典型肺炎爆發前的水平，但市民對香港新聞傳媒整體公信力評分則繼續高企。
On the other front, people's satisfaction with the degree of press freedom has gone back to the level registered before Antony Leung's car purchase incident and the SARS outbreak, while the credibility rating of the news media has remained high. 
  5-Jun-03  市民對新聞自由的滿意程度，和新聞傳媒公信力的評分，近期都明顯上升，這應該與傳媒處理近期多宗事件的手法有關。在財政司司長稅前買車及非典型肺炎事件中，傳媒的報導都功不可沒。
People's satisfaction with the freedom of the press, and their rating of our news media's credibility, have both gone up, probably because they were happy with the roles played by the media in reporting Antony Leung's car purchase incident and the SARS outbreak.  
  Sep-97  英國皇妃戴安娜之死觸動了萬千英國人的心靈，也使世人關注追蹤式新聞報導的禍害。民意研究組在事伴發生後不久進行的調查就顯示，八成市民非常重視傳媒的社會責任，只有四分一讚成傳媒用追蹤方式採訪新聞。四成半市民認為香港的新聞傳媒有進行自我審查，而七成認為香港的新聞傳媒在批評中國政府時有所顧忌。市民一方面要求傳媒克盡社會責任，另一方面又大量追求揭秘式報導，可謂香港人茅盾心情的另一個寫照。
The death of Princess Diana has touched the soul of millions of British people, while at the same time raised the issue of whether tracking methods should be used in reporting news. According to our latest surveys, only one-quarter of Hong Kong people approved such methods.A sizable 44%, however, believed Hong Kong media practised self-censorship, 68% believed the media were reluctant to criticize China. Such a high expectation on the media, coupled with a large market for low grade reporting, reflects yet another double standard of the Hong Kong public 
  Apr-97  市民對電子傳媒的滿意程度比文字傳媒的表現高。平均有六成八市民表示滿意電視的表現；電台方面，平均亦有五成二市民表示滿意其表現。至於文字傳媒方面，雖然報章為市民第二重要之新聞來源，但平均只有四成三市民滿意其表現。有一成表示不滿。市民對雜誌的滿意程度為各種傳媒最低，平均只有一成一市民滿意，兩成一表示普通及二成九成表示不滿。綜合而言，平均有六成三市民表示滿意香港新聞傳媒的整體表現，另有二成七表示普通，只有四個百分比不滿意傳媒的整體表現。由此看來，香港市民一般都是滿意新聞傳媒的表現。
people were generally more satisfied with the electronic media than the printed media. An average of 68% were satisfied with television, followed by 52% with radio, 43% with newspapers, and then 11% with magazines, a rate very low by any standard. Generally speaking, however, people were fairly satisfied with the overall performance of the news media, as 63% of the respondents, on average, said they were satisfied, while only 4% said they were not.
