Malasyia’s Freedom of Speech, Online and Off
There's an amazing array of media in Malaysia, in sundry languages and formats, but one thing unites nearly all of them "“ they're strictly censored by the Malaysian government. But through a quirk of history there's one notable exception where real reporting can be read and it's a big one; the internet. OTM producer Jamie York talks to journalism professor Zaharom Nain, free media advocate Masjaliza Hamzah and malaysiakini co-founder Steven Gan about the effects of speech, free and censored, in Malaysia.
Jamie York reported from Malaysia on a fellowship from the International Reporting Project (IRP).
