RTHK To Embrace New Tech: Eddie Cheung

New Director of Broadcasting Eddie Cheung on Friday pledged to lead RTHK to better fulfil its role as a public broadcaster while taking full advantage of emerging web technologies.

Cheung, who was appointed as the head of the RTHK in August, told reporters on his first day in his new post that he's looking forward to working closely with his team as the station prepares to mark its 95th anniversary next year, stressing that his position is not a "one man job."

He also stressed the need for the broadcaster to keep pace with the latest internet technologies.

"We are living in a web 3.0 world and it is a decentralised world. So it is very important for me to discuss with my team... how can we react to the challenges brought by this age of web 3.0... so we need to be more conscious of working in a cross media environment," he said

Cheung also dismissed suggestions that his lack of a media background would hamper his work in leading the public broadcaster. He said he would use his experience in public administration and management to do a good job.
