Government "advisers" in a newsroom. you have a soft spot for a Centre for Independent Journalism. When Jeff Ooi as well as you were sued by a journal giant back in January 2007 (mine later became a first box of a journal boring a blogger to court), it was a CIJ which initiated a debate opposite a journal company. you can't say a same about a lot of my colleagues n a MSM back then, they were employees as well as they were friends of a people who were suing me, a same journos who not long ago got together in Kuala Lumpur to form a group to press for larger freedom for "independent" journalists. Hurrah! A new-found bravery to quarrel injustices opposite journos, including opposite a police for beating up journos during a Bersih 3.0. Better late than never Still, you couldn't help wondering, where were they when their own journal as well as paper bosses were beating bloggers up?
But you digress. What Iwanted to do is draw your attention to a CIJ inform upon Press Freedom, as reported by a "financially indepedent (sic) state journal Selangor Times":
.... Meanwhile, CIJ additionally credited a Selangor as well as Penang governments led by Pakatan Rakyat (PR) for demonstrating a larger understanding of polite liberties, especially by introducing freedom of report laws.
However, a media watchdog remarkable which Selangor had two advisers, who oldster a calm prior to it goes to print, in financially independent state journal Selangor Times, .
Whether Selangor Times will be able to say a independence will be a good indication of how a intensity PR Federal supervision would behave if it came to power, pronounced CIJ in a report.
(Editors note: The S! elangor supervision does not meddle in a operations or paper calm of a Selangor Times.)

The CIJ should have told it as it is. Since a last General Election in 2008, Lim Guan Eng has declared fight opposite a MSM in Penang, especially NST and Utusan Malaysia. In Selangor, Khalid Ibrahim has set in reserve millions upon a state-controlled media network. Anwar Ibrahim, Teresa Kok, Azmin Ali as well as many other Pakatan leaders have filed multi-million ringgit suits opposite reporters as well as their organisations in this country. Freedom of Information? What freedom of information?
The CIJ should not beat around a bush. These people betrothed us larger freedom as well as their state governments should now walk their talk.
Still, I'd like to praise a CIJ. If not for their good work, you would not have well known which a Selangor state supervision stations dual "advisers" upon a Selangor Times paper floor to "vet a calm prior to it goes to print".
And a Editor says a Selangor state supervision does not meddle in a operations or paper content. He should listen to a Bee Gee's you Started A Joke.
Long live Robin Gibb.
