I wouldn't believe those countries that are ranked high also don't necessarily mean they have irresponsible and unreliable press. a bit of trying to divert our attention Edited April 10, 2014 by Acemundo 3 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acemundo Supercharged April 10, 2014 Share April 10, 2014 Can post bro? Give a balanced approach to this. Stomp v responsible hor... http://www.straitstimes.com/news/singapore/more-singapore-stories/story/spores-media-model-makes-sense-country-pm-20140410 S'pore's media model 'makes sense' for country: PM Published on Apr 10, 2014 27 146 0 0 PRINT EMAIL Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong said he does not take seriously Singapore's low rankings on press freedom, as he believes the way the media here is managed "makes sense" for the country. Mr Lee described the system as one in which "information flows freely on the Internet, you can get data instantly from anywhere in the world, newspapers report freely the news, but also responsibly". Newspapers should aim to inform and educate and be a source of reliable information, opinion as well as entertainment. "And not all newspapers in the world aspire to do that," he noted. This model has worked for Singapore, he said, but noted that it was also changing with the advent of the Internet and social media. He made the point in reply to a question on what Singapore was doing to get a better ranking in the annual Press Freedom Index, done by non-governmental organisation Reporters Without Borders. In last year's index, Singapore was ranked 149th out of 179 countries, just above Iraq and Myanmar. According to the report, the group's ranking looks at press freedom, including the laws governing the media. It does not measure the quality of journalism in the country's media. The results are also based partly on a questionnaire sent to partner groups. Turning to the changes taking place in the media scene around the world, he noted that more people were now getting their news online and from social media. An active user of Facebook and Instagram, Mr Lee regularly posts slice-of-life photos of his official trips overseas, as well as more serious updates such as condolences to families of disaster victims. "I think it's a useful additional channel. But if you want to deliver an op-ed, 800 words is already too much for Facebook. And on Instagram, the paragraphs are even shorter. That's just the way the attention span is," he said. He acknowledged that social media can influence election results as people use it to exchange opinions and snippets. He contrasted that to the way an older generation would read the newspapers "from cover to cover" to get a good sense of what was happening.

1fast1 Supersonic April 10, 2014 Share April 10, 2014 actually I read the article on this same interview of PM on Straits Times and the way it is written is completely in different light from this.

RadX Moderator April 10, 2014 Author Share April 10, 2014 And that makes me wonder which outlet (ST or CNA) was being more "responsible". Clearly, neither are free! Well let's just say we here are more discerning to make our conclusions. That said, we do proactively look for alternative sources to gain better insight in news reported. Onus lies on the individual and moving forward shd be the way. No one site nor view shd be taken as the only source. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Celicar Turbocharged April 10, 2014 Share April 10, 2014 Sounds like the way some people treat domestic helpers. If you want to keep them responsible and reliable, better don't give them too much freedom. actually I read the article on this same interview of PM on Straits Times and the way it is written is completely in different light from this. basically say press freedom isn't same as responsible and reliable press. and the one we have got in Singapore are responsible and reliable. responsible to who? I wouldn't believe those countries that are ranked high also don't necessarily mean they have irresponsible and unreliable press. a bit of trying to divert our attention ↡ Advertisement 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
