Welcome to my online hub. This is a portal to my different websites (right). This site also contains my bio, list of publications and updates on current projects.

My book is out. Visit my book site for more information.

In May, I participated in the Bhutan Center for Media and Democracy's Media Dialogue. I will be returning to Bhutan in late July with 14 journalism students for NTU's Go-Far overseas reporting programme. We will be looking at Bhutan's unique development model.

Popular Culture and the State in East and Southeast Asia, edited by Nissim Otmazgin and Eyal Ben-Ari, has just been published. It has chapters on Taiwan, China, Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, South Korea and the Philippines. My chapter on Singapore compares the response to censorship by artists and journalists. See it on Amazon, note the price, and wait for your library to get it.

In May 2012, I had the chance to interview Guy Berger, UNESCO's new director for freedom of expression and media development, for my project on hate speech. Berger assessed the role of the media in xenophobia attacks in his native South Africa. See my Hate Spin site.

Hao Xiaoming and I have a chapter on Singapore journalism in the book, The Global Journalist in the 21st Century, edited by David Weaver and Lars Willnat. The book assesses the demographics, education, socialisation, professional attitudes and working conditions of journalists in various countries around the world. It will be out in early 2012. Visit the publisher's site for more details.

2011 was a year of groundbreaking elections in Singapore. While not as revolutionary as the "springs" elsewhere, the events here represented a radical change in Singapore's political culture. My commentaries on the General Election and Presidential Election are on my Air-Conditioned Nation blog.

This site is devoted to journalism-related issues in Singapore. Temporarily down as I have exceeded my quota for the month. My latest Journalism.SG post can be read on my Facebook.
