Selina Cheng was fired by The Wall Street Journal last month over her decision to run for the leadership position at the Hong Kong Journalists Association .

Cheng said she did not expect her dismissal from the American newspaper last month to gain the attention of so many international media outlets and journalism groups.

HKJA chairwoman said she decided to hold a press conference immediately after she was fired because she wanted to show journalists in Hong Kong the union chief would defend her own rights.
