“Looking Around” location host “One Mosquito Joe” You Jiwei has many years of experience in interviewing. Yesterday (10th) he was dispatched to Soho in Central to interview the Wyndham Street shooting, but the process was suspected of having an unpleasant incident with other reporters present. He posted on social media at 4 p.m., “MJ, although I am not a Hong Kong news reporter, but it was when I interviewed the Manila hostage incident in 2010. Have you graduated yet, Hong Kong news reporter?”
However, his re-examination of the Manila hostage incident aroused dissatisfaction among netizens. Afterwards, he quickly deleted the post and re-posted an explanation of the incident. He pointed out that during the visit, he was directly pointed by a staff member at the scene of “blocking the sun”, so he mightn’t bear his anger. The hot Seed fought back, but following reflection, he thought that he used the words improperly. He may have preconceived the misunderstanding that the staff member was a Hong Kong news reporter, and even pointed out that the hostage incident should not be brought back to Hong Kong people’s sad memories. I apologize to everyone affected for this. I promise to learn lessons and continue to do interviews well in the future. When he was interviewed by Dongwang, he added that he would humbly accept the opinions of all netizens. He would also accept and improve when a netizen reminded a professional reporter not to take a selfie on the spot.
