Jacky Yiu Chung, Chan (Graduated in 2012)
 

CHAN Yiu Chung Jacky has over 10 years of experience in journalism and public administration.  He previously worked as Senior Reporter for Cable TV News and is currently the External Affairs Manager of the MTR Corporation, responsible for corporate relations with Legislative Council, District Council and local communities, as well as focusing on fare and railway operation-related communications.

Jacky graduated in 2012 with a degree in Journalism and Mass Communication from Hong Kong Shue Yan University.  During his studies, he served as the President of “SYU JC Radio”, a practical platform of the department. He also worked as a part-time traffic news reporter at Commercial Radio Hong Kong and assisted in coordinating various radio events.  In 2011, Jacky joined Cable TV News as Summer Intern, and later became a part-time reporter there, which became a cornerstone for him to join the media industry after graduation.

During his tenure at Cable TV News, Jacky focused on reporting transportation and housing issues.  At the same time, he was also active in local and overseas news coverage, from large-scale protests and conflicts, passage of tropical cyclones, various elections, to international breaking news events, such as the gas explosion in Kaohsiung, the water park dust explosion in New Taipei, the bombing at the Erawan Shrine in Bangkok, and the passing of Thai King Bhumibol Adulyadej, etc.  Jacky was one of the few representatives of the Hong Kong electronic media who traveled to the US aircraft carrier USS Reagan in the South China Sea to cover geopolitical issues in the region.

Jacky also participated in planning interviews and reporting on different transportation issues, witnessing the completion of major infrastructure projects in Hong Kong, such as the MTR’s Island Line extension, the South Island Line, the Hong Kong section of High-speed Rail, Shatin to Central Link and Hong Kong-Zhuhai-Macau Bridge.  This allowed him to provide comprehensive coverage of Hong Kong’s transportation infrastructure and related policy for the audience.

After making a career change to the MTR Corporation, Jacky has moved in the realm of corporate relations in recent years.  He has been dedicated to engage the councilors and the community, serving as a communication bridge among the corporation, the local as well as the general public.  This enables him to convey messages to various stakeholders and reflect their opinions effectively, allowing the public to better understand the MTR Corporation.

Jacky’s Message:

“The training platform and practical opportunities provided by the Department of Journalism and Communication in Shue Yan have broadened my horizons and laid a solid foundation before joining the industry, enabling me to realize my aspirations by uncovering news angles and reporting the truth for the public.  The extensive alumni network of the Department has also helped me and other students and graduates for exposure to different career opportunities.

The training from the department and the years of experience in the news industry, have cultivated my techniques and abilities in communication, coordination, relationship building, crisis management and teamwork, along with a keen sense of current affairs as well as the adaptability and judgment under high-pressure atmosphere.  This also allowed me to explore this ever-changing world by expanding from the media industry to the realms of corporate relations, and even international business development in recent years.”
