"A Free Press, If You Can Keep It" is a scholarly book that presents an innovative research approach to studying press freedom in Hong Kong. The authors combine computer-based analyses from the field of natural language processing with qualitative content analyses to illuminate the patterns of journalistic practices in politically unstable environments. This combination of methods allows for an understanding of the development of press freedom in Hong Kong since the return to Chinese sovereignty. The book offers an interdisciplinary perspective and is aimed at a broad audience, including professionals from the fields of computational social sciences, public policy, and political science, as well as decision-makers, think tanks, and practitioners engaged with the relationship between China and Hong Kong.
