2:47 mins

Synopsis: This is a special episode of The Straits Times' video series The Big Story, hosted by Hairianto Diman and Olivia Quay.

Hong Kong's Apple Daily has apologised to its readers for not meeting their expectations. This comes after hundreds of people queued past midnight for one of a million copies of the final publication.

The headline that ran across the front page was: Hong Kongers Bid Painful Farewell In The Rain: We Support Apple Daily.

Assistant Professor Dylan Loh from Nanyang Technological University, weighs in on what the tabloid's exit will mean for Hong Kong's media landscape.
