High above the bustling city, precisely 18 floors up, lies the heart of the South China Morning Post.
With over 265 journalists from 24 countries, the SCMP has reported on Hong Kong, Greater China, and Asia for more than 120 years, ensuring that it informs and provides perspective and insights to readers in our city, across the region, and around the world.
Founded in Hong Kong in 1903, the SCMP has transformed into a state-of-the-art newsroom and an award-winning global news media company. Despite its advancements, some traditions persist, even from 18 floors up in Times Square.
One of these cherished traditions is the English-style pub located in the middle of the newsroom. It features a special brew called “Post Hop,” which pays homage to the long-standing tradition of journalists gathering in bars to exchange their latest scoops and stories.
So, the next time you read an SCMP article, remember that it may have been given the finishing touches over some lively conversation at Black Kite!
