WP:BLP of a journalist with no strong claim to passing our notability criteria for journalists. As always, journalists are not automatically notable enough for inclusion in Wikipedia just because their existence is nominally verified by a staff profile on the
self-published website of their own employer -- to qualify for an article, a journalist's notability has to be externally validated by third-party sources writing about her, in the context of such things as analyzing the importance of her work or verifying that she won a notable journalism award. But there's no content of that type here, and instead this is just following the depressingly standard template for bad articles about journalists: take staff profile, rephrase it just enough to slide past the copyvio police, source it to itself, and voila.
Nothing stated here is "inherently" notable enough to exempt Josephine Au from having to be the subject of coverage in
reliable sources independent of her own paycheque provider.
