Ming Pao journalists say the paper's editor-in-chief, Chong Tien-siong, has expressed regret over the way he handled the recent sacking of a senior editor, Keung Kwok-yuen, but he isn't going to be reinstated.
The staff association on Thursday night held a third meeting with bosses over the controversial dismissal.
The association's chairwoman, Phyllis Tsang, said while management again ignored their demand for Keung to be given his job back, they did pledge there would be no further lay-offs during the current financial year.
The paper says the executive chief editor was let go to save money, but staff fear the decision was politically motivated, because management didn’t like his editorial decisions.
