1. 公共專業聯盟 The Professional Commons
1.「中國良心與網絡民意」系列之三：牆裡牆外——兩地公民社會與傳媒落差
講者：閭丘露薇（媒體工作者）、潘小濤（香港商業電臺主持）及一位來自內地的媒體人士
時間：九月四日晚六時半至八時半
地點：金鐘道95號統一中心8 樓UR3室
公盟事件發生後在內地嚴格的新聞管制下，《南方都市報》、《中國新聞週刊》依然頂著巨大的壓力進行了報導，甚至連《時尚先生》的8月號都將許志永作 為封面人物。很多人為這些媒體的大膽和良知鼓掌，但其實這僅是內地媒體挑戰新聞管制底線的一個範例。從《南方都市報》對5.12地震的反思報導到《南方週 末》對灰色賓館的深度調查，從《東方早報》對毒奶粉事件的披露到CCTV對礦難遇難者人數的調查，內地的媒體人一直在極其有限的空間內不斷努力，試圖讓公 眾更接近事實的真相。
和內地媒體相比，香港媒體享有言論自由，於是在內地新聞管制的背景下，香港媒體成為很多內地民眾獲取訊息的主要渠道。但港媒對內地的新聞報導不僅速度慢，而且報導不夠深入和細緻。
媒體和公民社會之間的關係怎樣？香港媒體可以怎樣更好地利用言論自由的空間？在構建公民社會的過程中港媒可以又應當充當怎樣的角色？我們會邀請中港兩地的三位資深媒體人和大家一起探討。此外，給溫家寶總理寫信的香港學生鄭詠欣及輔 導員張銳輝老師將作為討論嘉賓出席。
此活動以普通話進行，和前兩場一樣依然會在twitter進行文字直播，帳號是 @du_ting , @jeanyim，音頻直播的網址稍後會公佈。

香港土地物業市場是經濟重要支柱。同時香港實行市場 經濟，以市場競爭分配資源和財富。那麽香港的土地物業市場是否一個供求雙方議價能力相若，競爭性高的市場呢？香港稅率低，但儲備豐厚。錢是從那裏來的？香 港有那麽多的儲備，為何近年社會貧富懸殊不斷加劇？
