In 1994, she won an International Press Freedom Award from the Committee to Protect Journalists.[2] An advocate for press freedom, she was critical in 1995 of what she viewed as increasing self-censorship among Hong Kong journalists in anticipation of Hong Kong's 1997 transfer of sovereignty to China.[1]
