Looking back at 2020
2020-12-25
Hello and welcome to The Pulse. And from all of us here, best wishes to you for this holiday season. There are still a few days left, but so far 2020 has been a year unlike any other in recent history- and that’s putting it mildy. Merriam-Webster’s online dictionary has designated “pandemic” as the word of the year, and you can see why. Oxford dictionaries report that searches for the word increased by 57,000%. As the pandemic intensified and lockdowns were enforced in most countries, “coronavirus” became the most searched term on the internet according to Google analytics data. Hong Kong, of course, has had more than Covid-19 to deal with. The aftermath of the social unrest in 2019 and the introduction of the new National Security Law have drastically changed the socio-political landscape. This week, we look at what 2020 has meant to four people from different walks of life.
RTHK's English-language current affairs programme that takes "The Pulse" of Hong Kong ... and the world around it.
"The Pulse" is presented by locally and internationally known journalist and writer Steve Vines.
Its focus? The latest events and trends that affect Hong Kong - from the corridors of power and business boardrooms, to the streets and dai pai dongs.
"The Pulse" is politics. What's happening in the Legislative Council and on the streets right now.
"The Pulse" is the media, informing us how well or badly our press and broadcast organisations diagnose and reflect the society around us.
"The Pulse" is insightful, in-depth reports and interviews on current issues - examining those issues in depth, looking behind and beyond the news.
Its focus is on the timely. The Now.
Keep your eye ... and your finger ... on "The Pulse".
If you want to discuss anything you've seen in "The Pulse", or anything in the public eye right now, or just to talk about the show, why not join in the debate on our Facebook page, RTHK's The Pulse.
Starting 3 April, the programme is aired every Friday on RTHK 31 at 19:30.
