Freedom from the Press: Journalism and State Power in Singapore
Freedom from the Press: Journalism and State Power in Singapore

Singapore's press freedom paradox unraveled.

For those intrigued by the interplay of media and politics, "Freedom from the Press" is a revealing dive. It's particularly revealing considering the global stature of Singapore—a hub of affluence and innovation, yet tight-lipped in press liberty. If you're drawn to understanding how government mechanisms can shape, direct, or suppress public discourse, Cherian George's insights are bound to captivate and inform, unmasking the calculated orchestration behind a seemingly free state.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

For several decades, the city-state of Singapore has been an international anomaly, combining an advanced, open economy with restrictions on civil liberties and press freedom. Freedom from the Press analyses the republic’s media system, showing how it has been structured to provide maximum freedom of manoeuvre for the People's Action Party (PAP) government.
