Overview
- The outlet said its final print issue publishes this month and digital updates will stop on December 20, 2025.
- All About Macau reported that the Government Information Bureau told it in October it no longer meets statutory requirements under the press law and revoked its monthly publication registration, with no public response from the bureau so far.
- Three journalists face potential criminal charges tied to April reporting at the Legislative Assembly, when reporters were barred entry and two, including editor-in-chief Ian Sio Tou, were detained for 11 hours before police referred the case to prosecutors.
- In its shutdown notice, the newsroom cited resource constraints, escalating external pressures, and the need for staff to navigate judicial proceedings.
- The Committee to Protect Journalists called the closure a blow to press freedom, urged Chief Executive Sam Hou Fai to restore the outlet’s registration, and noted the broader tightening of Macao’s media environment since security laws were expanded.
