Ronson Chan Ron-sing ({{Lang-zh|t=陳朗昇}}; born 1982) is a Hong Kong journalist and the chairman of the Hong Kong Journalists Association. Previously working for Apple Daily and Stand News, he became a delivery driver after both these outlets were closed due to the enactment of the Hong Kong national security law. His home was also raided shortly before Stand News closed down.{{Cite web|title=Raid on Journalist's Home Adds to ‘Nightmare’ for Hong Kong Media|url=https://www.voanews.com/a/raid-on-journalist-s-home-adds-to-nightmare-for-hong-kong-media/6374591.html|access-date=2022-12-04|website=VOA|language=en}} In September 2022, Chan was charged with obstructing police, days before he was set to take up a fellowship at the Reuters Institute at Oxford University. The arrest was widely felt to be part of an attack on Hong Kong's freedom of the press.{{Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/sep/20/hong-kong-journalist-charged-days-before-leaving-for-oxford-fellowship|title=Hong Kong journalist charged days before leaving for Oxford fellowship|date=September 20, 2022|website=the Guardian}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.theguardian.com/world/2022/feb/24/ronson-chan-the-former-hong-kong-editor-who-is-now-a-delivery-driver|title=Ronson Chan: the former Hong Kong editor who is now a delivery driver|date=February 24, 2022|website=the Guardian}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.voanews.com/a/head-of-hong-kong-journalists-association-arrested-released-on-bail-/6736765.html|title=Head of Hong Kong Journalists Association Arrested, Released on Bail|website=VOA}}{{Cite web|url=https://www.rfi.fr/tw/%E4%B8%AD%E5%9C%8B/20220907-%E9%A6%99%E6%B8%AF%E8%A8%98%E8%80%85%E5%B7%A5%E6%9C%83%E4%B8%BB%E5%B8%AD%E9%99%B3%E6%9C%97%E5%8D%87%E4%BB%8A%E9%81%AD%E8%AD%A6%E6%96%B9%E9%80%AE%E6%8D%95-%E7%BD%AA%E5%90%8D%E6%88%96%E6%98%AF%E6%93%BE%E4%BA%82%E7%A4%BE%E6%9C%83%E6%B2%BB%E5%AE%89|title=香港記者工會主席陳朗升今遭警方逮捕 罪名或是擾亂社會治安|date=September 7, 2022|website=RFI - 法國國際廣播電台}}
