Inês Chan Lou (second from left), the new director of the Macau Government Information Bureau (GCS), accompanied by senior GCS officials including Vice Director Louie Wong Lok I (second from right), paid a courtesy call on The Macau Post Daily yesterday. The Macau Post Daily’s director Harald Brüning (centre) and chief reporter Maria Cheang Ut Meng briefed Chan on their newspaper’s editorial guidelines since its inception nearly 16 years ago and the acute existential threat that the adverse economic impact of the COVID-19 epidemic is posing to the city’s English-language newspapers that unlike their Chinese- and Portuguese-language counterparts are not subsidised by the government. Chan said that the government was determined to assist the local press in its further development. – Photo: Maria Cheang Ut Meng
