- Consulting the Oracle on reporting
- Student journalists should be exposed to critical reporting approaches that present a pluralistic view of society which recognises the experiences of different racial groups.
- Of crabs, dogs and journalism
- The instincts and movements of crabs and guard dogs can teach us a few lessons in journalism. 'Guard dog journalism' obviously doesn't work in the Malaysian context. 'Crab journalism' may.
- Another year dawns ...
- When we were kids, the years were long. Past 40, we become more reflective. Past 50, the obituary pages become more relevant reading.
- No curly questions in protocol journalism
- An English daily's Q&A with Hishammuddin Hussein is another example of protocol journalism.
- Hold the media accountable
- Journalists keep a close watch on those who govern and that's how the media kept the politicians honest. But who keeps the media honest?
- Copy-paste as old as scribbles on paper
- Whatever their excuse, plagiarists can expect an unforgiving audience once found out.
- Change the system - and they may return
- What strategies can Malaysia take to stem the outflow of its human capital to the 'west', and, possibly reverse the trend?
- Passing from M'sian to Aussie journos
- Despite assurances to the contrary, there is also a real threat that the authorities could use the new sedition laws arbitrarily.

- We need to believe in our journalists, or else it's all a lost cause. Which begs the question, do we have a reason to believe?

- Serving the greater interests of participatory democracy should be the common goal if ever there is going to be a dialogue between governments and journalists.
- Study shows stereotypes persist in Malaysia
- A study of 600 businessmen executives reveals that racial stereotyping is somehow unavoidable in a country steeped in racial, religious and cultural differentiations.
- 'E-democracy' needs more than Internet access
- The information highway was heralded as an exciting vehicle to greater democracy, but that vision is yet to be realised in Malaysia where there are not enough users who comprise the same faces anyway.
