Hong Kong housing price stands high all around the world in the past several years. There’s a trend reported by some news report showing that more and more people choose to buy or invest in haunted houses to solve the living problem.

Haunted houses refer to those that violent or tragic events, such as murder, accidental death or suicide have ever happened in the houses. As a result, the housing price of haunted houses always offers a big discount compared with other similar apartments.

「人讀等身書，如將兵十萬。」近年，地鐵、馬路等公眾場合，隨處都能看見港人機不離手。有不少聲音說，手機的便利與普及令大眾大幅減少閱讀紙質出版物。香港人還願意捧起書本嗎？手機能否逐漸取代它們？

The term “Curator” was traditionally used in the context of museums, library, gallery and art exhibitions. It general refers to the person who creatively plan and well organise resources to maximise the utility for the audience. The process that a curator gets the job done is thus “curate”.
TLDR readers, here are the sites that worth your visit:
“I guess I cannot buy my own room in Hong Kong in my life. Impossible,” said Gina, a university student. She is near graduation this year and has to do part-time jobs while studying. In addition to facing the pressure of her studies, she also felt deeply impotent in the face of high housing prices.

媽媽常說我們「食米不知米貴」，我們也總不明白主婦們為什麼要為那「一個幾毫」而跨區買菜。事實上今時今日要在街市買一頓飯菜的材料貴了多少？不同地區的食材價格差異，又真的只有「一個幾毫」嗎？
比較2016年發表的街市食品價格統計及全港地區入息中位數，當中我們發現有收入與物價不衡現象，以沙田、大埔、元朗三區情況最為嚴重，物價升幅持續上漲，高於工資升幅。有街市檔主認為問題歸咎於休漁期及內地直銷菜，亦發現食環街市於十八區分佈與人口數量不均，以沙田及西貢區最嚴重。

Domestic helpers are an integral part in Hong Kong. Since 1973, the Hong Kong government has allowed foreign nationals to come to Hong Kong to work as domestic helpers. With over 350,000 helpers in Hong Kong, many households choose to employ foreign domestic helpers to help with a number of tasks. This is beneficial for helpers from low-income countries or regions, who can work for a higher wage than they would normally get in their home country, and send money back to help their family live more comfortably.

【編註】本文是2017年12月4日的香港網絡媒體峯會後的感想，由 Pili Hu 口述完成，先使用科大訊飛轉爲文字稿，再通過 OpenCC 由簡體轉爲繁體，經過輕量編輯後發出。因爲是口述稿，行文難免累贅，有部分用語不準確的地方，歡迎留言指正。從技術上看，是我們一次新的嘗試，希望藉此方法加速信息傳遞的效率。總共耗時爲1小時在地鐵上口述，加1.5小時編輯。
今天下午的網絡傳媒峯會。幾位主編都有分享，很多媒體運營的經驗。大家談論最多的話題還是媒體的商業模式。用端傳媒主編張潔平的話來說，媒體的商業模式主要有三種。第一種是廣告模式，即先用內容換取流量，然後再用流量去向廣告主收費。第二種模式是直接付費，即把內容直接賣給讀者，而最好的賣法是訂閱，相比點播，訂閱可以保證持續的現金流。第三種辦法，則是贊助，一些基金會或者個人金主，都會贊助大大小小的媒體。
