About 80 workers at the newspaper Ming Pao have held a one-hour strike, to protest over a story on the June 4 crackdown being pulled from Monday's front page.

Reporters and editors stood outside Ming Pao's building in Chai Wan and put pens on the ground to demonstrate their anger.

The paper's staff association says an editorial board decided to run a report, involving an eye-witness account of the crackdown, on the front page.

But editor-in-chief Chong Tien-siong ordered it to be replaced with a story about Alibaba's new venture to help young entrepreneurs.
