I wish the Malaysiakini team and SEACEM could extend the training for Citizen Journalism to this part of the world.With affordable camcorder and digital video recorder within the layman reach, news coverage will be more comprehensive if the public could report it effectively.Like what media men always says, video never lie.

The genre-busting documentary that started a flood of issue-oriented documentaries exposes the right wing bias of Rupert Murdoch's Fox News which has been running a "race to the bottom" in television news. An in-depth look at the dangers of ever-enlarging corporations taking control of the media.
The apologists for liberal media bias have nowhere left to hide. According to the Pew Research Center:
The media coverage of the race for president has not so much cast Barack Obama in a favorable light as it has portrayed John McCain in a substantially negative one, according to a new study of the media since the two national political conventions ended.

It is no longer a joke if you say that 24 hr TV channel is a monster. Firstly, it has to telecast something round the clock and then also ensure that the TRPs don't fall.

Online journalism is global. As long as my erratic Digital Village internet connection is working, I can read blogs and journalism from anywhere in the world. I can watch the Daily Show online from America.

Journalism and official counterterrorism are in many ways similar. They each have important functions - journalism, to keep us informed, and counterterrorism, to keep us safe. They each have the dual goal of getting the facts right, and protecting their sources and methods. Viewed this way, you would think that there would be mutual respect between the two industries, even if they occasionally clash. Unfortunately, this is not the case. Despite the fact that journalists rely on confidential sources...(read more)

so i've taken some interest in photo-journalism as a new style. i suppose it's just an excuse to be stalkerish than anything else, but i'm really liking how the photos turn out. ordinarily, i'd probably have deleted this shot due to it being a bit out of focus, but now, it just seems to complete the look.
the whole shooting while not looking sort of reminds me of the first time i rode my bike with my arms waving in the air. there's a certain amount of exhilaration of not being able to control where you're going. and sometimes, you end up in some interesting places.

I don't remember how, but earlier today, I stumbled across this Salon article about celebrity gossip. It actually made reference to the Atlantic Monthly article about being a papparazzo on the trail of Britney that I read yesterday. Which was totally the point of last night's South Park.

I started reading the article at my desk while eating my lunch and I laughed out loud enough times that I decided that, in order to prevent choking, it would be best to put down my fork until I got to the end.

The unprecedented apologies in the Daily Express and the Daily Star over their treatment of the McCanns highlights that responsible journalism is still key even in an age of multiple news providers.Growth of unregulated user generated content has led to fears that anyone with access to the internet can write what they like without reprisal.This may be to some extent true but the majority of bloggers and vloggers out their will not command anywhere near the same number of subscribers as traditional news outlets.If professional journalists are to maintain their overall ‘superior’ status to online amateurs it is important that they continue to adhere to the codes of conduct that govern their trade.In any form of journalism trusting what has been said is vital.Article taken from www.stuart

I don't have enough interest in sport to justify a career in it, though I try to improve my knowledge. A fair number of our class will be picking sport as their option.
