Hong Kong’s Citizen News to close, amid fears for staff’s safety (Al Jazeera)

Hong Kong independent online news outlet Citizen News is to close on Tuesday after five years, in the face of what it described as a deteriorating media environment in the Chinese-ruled territory and concerns about the safety of its staff.

The announcement, made on social media on Sunday, comes less than a week after some 200 police raided the office of Stand News, another independent media outlet, accusing its senior editors of sedition.
