Hong Kong Free Press (HKFP) is a free, non-profit[1] news website based in Hong Kong. It was co-founded in 2015 by Tom Grundy,[2][3] who believed that the territory's press freedom was in decline, to provide an alternative to the dominant English-language news source, the South China Morning Post, and to cover the pro-democracy movement.[4][5]
