Cassandra Lee on Info-communications Media Development Authority (Amendment) Bill
The regulation of media companies is not just about economics, but about the role media plays in society - shaping public understanding and discourse. With this in mind, MP Cassandra Lee noted that the Info-communications Media Development Authority (Amendment) Bill focuses on traditional media companies. She asked if its scope might be expanded to local media producers and content creation firms that are on the rise, disseminating large volumes of content that is consumed and trusted by the masses. She spoke in parliament on Thursday (May 7).
