BackgroundA Hong Kong native with American citizenship,[1] Chan received a bachelor's degree in social sciences from the University of Hong Kong and a master's in journalism from the Chinese University of Hong Kong.[1] Chan moved to the United States in 1972 to pursue a graduate degree at the University of Michigan.[1] She later worked for the New York Daily News.[4] Liu Tai-ying libel actionIn 1996, Chan collaborated with Shieh Chung-liang, the Taiwan bureau chief of the Hong Kong-based magazine Yazhou Zhoukan to investigate possible Taiwanese contributions to US President Bill Clinton's re-election campaign. The pair wrote an article that appeared on 25 October reporting that Liu Tai-ying, the business manager of Taiwan's Kuomintang political party, had offered $15 million to Mark Middleton, an ex-Clinton White House aide.[2] The article also printed a denial from Liu that he had offered the money.[3] Liu went on to file a criminal libel suit against the pair on 7 November.[4] Chen Chao-ping, a political consultant named as the source of the story, was added as a co-defendant.[5] Liu also filed a civil suit for $15 million in damages.[9] Calling the trial "a test case for press freedom in Asia", The Committee to Protect Journalists filed an amicus brief on their behalf, as did ten major US media companies.[2] The Kuomintang called a special meeting to endorse the libel suit and condemn Chan and Shieh.[5] However, a Taiwanese district court ruled in the pair's favour on 22 April 1997.[2] The ruling was "hailed as a landmark decision" for press freedom by media watchdog groups, in part because Judge Lee Wei-shen's decision acknowledged the constitutional right to a free press for the first time in Taiwanese judicial history.[6] Academic workIn 1999, Chan founded the Journalism and Media Studies Centre in Hong Kong, which offered both graduate and undergraduate degrees in journalism. She later established the Cheung Kong School of Journalism and Communication at Shantou University in Guangdong, China.[7] In 2006, she strongly criticised the search engine Google for censoring its Chinese service, calling it "a missed opportunity to help nurture free journalism in the country".[8] Awards and honoursChan's honours include a 1995 Nieman Fellowship at Harvard University[3] and a George Polk Award for excellence in American journalism.[7] In November 1997, The Committee to Protect Journalists gave Chan and Shieh its International Press Freedom Award,[2] "an annual recognition of courageous journalism".[9] The award citation stated that "[Chan and Shieh's] courage sets an example in a region noted for both widespread self-censorship and government intervention in the functioning of the press."[2] In August 2013, the Asian American Journalist Association honoured Chan with a Lifetime Achievement Award, citing her work at the Journalism and Media Studies Centre, HKU, as well as being the founding dean of the School of Journalism and Communications at Shantou University, in China.[10] "Through journalism programs at both universities she is raising a new generation of questioning, curious and fair journalists right on the doorstep of mainland China," the award citation said in part.[11] Chan was a member of the Peabody Awards Board of Jurors from 2003 to 2009.[12] References1. ^{{cite web |url=https://casestudies.jrn.columbia.edu/casestudy/www/layout/standard.asp?case_id=1&id=1&c=bio |title=Biography: Yuen-Ying Chan |publisher=Columbia University School of Journalism |archivedate=26 August 2012 |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6AEVLT8WI |accessdate=26 August 2012}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 5 6 {{cite web |url=http://cpj.org/awards/1997/chan.php |title=Ying Chan and Shieh Chung-liang |year=1996 |publisher=Committee to Protect Journalists |accessdate=27 January 2012}} 3. ^1 2 {{cite news |url=https://www.nytimes.com/1996/12/06/opinion/writing-a-crime.html?pagewanted=all&src=pm |title=Writing a Crime |author=Anthony Lewis |date=6 December 1996 |work=The New York Times |accessdate=27 January 2012}} 4. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.ifex.org/taiwan/1996/12/06/criminal_libel_suit_filed_against/ |title=Criminal libel suit filed against two journalists |date=5 December 1996 |publisher=International Freedom of Expression Exchange |accessdate=27 January 2012}} 5. ^1 {{cite news |url=https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/taiwan-sues-over-clinton-slushfund-claim-1315335.html |title=Taiwan sues over Clinton slush-fund claim |author=Stephen Vines |date=20 December 1996 |work=The Independent |accessdate=27 January 2012}} 6. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://ipsnews.net/print.asp?idnews=101195 |title=Landmark Libel Case Up For Appeal |author=Cheung Chui Yung |date=16 June 1997 |publisher=Inter Press Service |accessdate=27 January 2012}} 7. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.cjr.org/behind_the_news/qa_teaching_journalism_in_chin.php?page=all |title=Q&A: teaching journalism in China |date=19 June 2012 |work=Columbia Journalism Review |archivedate=26 August 2012 |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6AEUX0NK4 |accessdate=26 August 2012}} 8. ^{{cite web |url=https://www.theguardian.com/media/2006/feb/01/china.searchengines |title=Chinese professor hits out at Google |author=Julia Day |date=1 February 2006 |work=The Guardian |archivedate=26 August 2012 |archiveurl=https://www.webcitation.org/6AEWLNkzZ |accessdate=26 August 2012}} 9. ^{{cite web |url=http://cpj.org/awards/ |title=CPJ International Press Freedom Awards 2011 |year=2011 |publisher=Committee to Protect Journalists |accessdate=17 January 2012}} 10. ^{{cite web |url=http://www.aaja.org/award-winners-2013/|title=AAJA Announces 2013 Award Winners|year=2013|publisher="Asian American Journalist Association"|accessdate=27 August 2013}} 11. ^{{cite web |url=http://jmsc.hku.hk/2013/09/ying-chan-receives-lifetime-achievement-award-aaja/|title=JMSC's Ying Chan Receives Lifetime Achievement Award from AAJA|year=2013|publisher="Journalism and Media Studies Centre"|accessdate=4 September 2013}} 12. ^http://www.peabodyawards.com/stories/story/george-foster-peabody-awards-board-members External links{{Commons category|Yuen-Ying Chan}}
