jmsc-195px-trans.png All content on this website is the work of undergraduate and graduate students taking the New Media Workshop course at the University of Hong Kong 's Journalism and Media Studies Centre , under the supervision of Asst. Prof. Rebecca MacKinnon.

The student stories have been lightly edited for grammar, spelling, and English-language usage by the instructor, with minor formatting adjustments made in some to make the website consistent.
