About Apple Daily London
Apple Daily London is an independent news organization founded by journalists committed to press freedom, factual reporting, and editorial independence. Operating from London, United Kingdom, Apple Daily London continues the journalistic legacy of Apple Daily following the forced closure of its Hong Kong newsroom.
Apple Daily London was established to ensure that independent reporting on Hong Kong, China, and global affairs remains accessible to readers worldwide. From our London base, we publish news and analysis free from censorship, political interference, or state control.
Our History
Apple Daily was founded in Hong Kong with a mission to deliver bold, investigative journalism and provide a platform for voices often excluded from state-aligned media. For decades, it served millions of readers with reporting on politics, society, business, and culture.
After escalating restrictions on press freedom and the eventual shutdown of the Hong Kong newsroom, members of the journalistic community regrouped abroad. Apple Daily London emerged from that displacement, continuing the work under a new legal and operational framework in the United Kingdom.
Our Mission
The mission of Apple Daily London is to:
-
Report truthfully and independently on Hong Kong, China, the UK, and international affairs
-
Preserve historical records through verified journalism
-
Serve the global Chinese-speaking and international community
-
Defend freedom of expression and the public’s right to know
We believe journalism plays a critical role in democratic societies by holding power to account and informing the public with verified facts.
