To commemorate World Press Freedom Day, the Centre for Independent Journalism released a report on the economic rights of journalists in Malaysia, arguing that the challenges facing journalism today are not just political or legal, but increasingly economic.
How does this link to press freedom and democratic health? Astro Awani’s Melisa Idris speaks with Cynthia Lorraine Silva, the media plurality programme officer for the Centre for Independent Journalism (CIJ) and Premesh Chandran, the deputy chairperson of the Malaysian Media Council and co-founder of news portal Malaysiakini.
