To some, Apple Daily represents democratic values such as a free press. Others view it as tabloid trash. I see it as an important tool of innovation in media. Lai pushed the envelope for Chinese language media, taking newsgathering and publishing far further than peer publications in Hong Kong and Taiwan.
Some of his innovations - such as 3D news event simulations that Lai's Next Media began publishing in the 2000s - made an impact far beyond Hong Kong and Taiwan (https://www.reuters.com/article/idUSTOE6AS04Q20101129)
It's sad to see this entrepreneurial news venture come to an end like this. It's criminal that Lai and his top editors have been thrown in jail.
