LETTER | Press freedom: Looming fear may become prevalent in M'sia
A
LETTER | The recent court verdict sentencing
Malaysiakini (including an earlier case) as guilty as charged, paralyses Malaysia's already much clipped independent journalism.
When the Reynolds defence and Reportage defence relied upon by all news media in every democracy across the world can no longer protect news reporting here in Malaysia, we must be mindful of the price that comes with such media impediments.
In this globally connected and speed-networked society, news accessibility is at our fingertips and immune to border controls.
We may cripple the independence of journalism within the country but we cannot blockade world news reports.
