Summary
This book addresses the range of debate and perspectives on issues of media ethics in the region, from the problems faced by journalists to public credibility of media institutions. Whilst debate in these areas is not new, with the rapidly changing media scene it has certainly gained in intensity
Notes
The book grew out of a seminar of the same name organized by AMIC and supported by the Swedish International Development Cooperation Agency (Sida) in Kuala Lumpur in 2000
