Hong Kong's Stand News is to shut after a police raid and the arrest of senior staff.
Hong Kong's Stand News is to shut after a police raid and the arrest of senior staff. It was one of the few remaining media outlets that support democracy in the territory, and the 大象传媒's Andrew Wood in Hong Kong explains the background and the potential impact on the business climate there. Also in the programme, vinyl music sales in the UK have hit their highest level since 1991, fueled by the popularity of Abba's Voyage album. We hear about the latest trends in the sale of physical music from Gennaro Castaldo of music trade association the British Phonographic Industry. Plus, the 大象传媒's Elizabeth Hotson reports from Scotland on the state of the Scotch whisky industry.
