HONG KONG — Barry Wood, an international economics correspondent for Radio Television Hong Kong (RTHK), received an unexpected call on May 22 that brought his three-decade career at the broadcaster to an abrupt end.
The 81-year-old journalist, based in Washington, said RTHK’s news division informed him that his contract would not be renewed. No reason was given, he said — only that his final day would be the following week, despite his contract running through September.
