Singapore Chronicles: Media

Straits Times Press

Regular price $14.95 SGD

This monograph outlines the development of Singapore’s media from the
first government-subsidised newspaper to radio, TV, Rediffusion, the Internet
and today’s social media. Going beyond “just the dates”, it shows how the
media in Singapore had once been extremely competitive, that Singapore
was a media hub for Malay intellectuals in the region and how the newspaper
licensing rules were inherited from the British who set the tone by curbing an
English-language newspaper called Singapore Herald published by a Japanese
publisher in the 1940s. It’s the Singapore media as few would have guessed.
