00:00We are having dealing with the new era of journalism yet again,
00:07where it's no longer pre-news, it's not even a portal.
00:12Now nowadays it's more of AI generated things where people get their news from social media itself,
00:19and not from the news outlet that we want to know.
00:23So, but pretty much the same everywhere in the developed countries all around the world.
00:30Hi, I'm Razie, I'm currently the Secretary for the Malaysia Media Council.
00:35The news becomes something like, it becomes better, it's easier to check,
00:43and people started to look at the news.
00:46However, now you will see that everyone competes with them.
00:51It's no longer just the editor you wanted.
00:53You are not competing with other media houses.
00:56You are competing with people on the ground,
00:59who has camera, who has access to video,
01:01so I'm not the so-called influencers.
01:04In terms of standard and quality,
01:06I mean, Malaysia's journalistic standard,
01:10it's okay but not that pronounced.
01:15I mean, if we are comparing it to countries who have like high amount of standards,
01:21of journalism, of reporting or whatnot,
01:24comparing it to the biggest newsroom and around the world,
01:30we are, maybe we are at 50 to 70%.
01:36We are not at the standard that we,
01:41we could be proud of it but not at standard that we could show everyone that we,
01:45we should be looked up to.
01:46The thing that for us to differentiate between news media and social media is the control,
01:54the editor, that's why we have editor,
01:57the gatekeeper of the information.
01:59The standard is you can't give up fake news.
02:02You are liable for all the laws.
02:07You are liable to be sued.
02:10Because to be an editor,
02:12at least in established media,
02:13you have to know the ethics,
02:15you have to learn the ropes,
02:16you have to know the discipline.
02:18That wasn't done so in social media.
02:20I mean, you are the one who write it.
02:22There's no standard of you writing,
02:24like saying someone that,
02:26oh, I saw someone being run over by a good.
02:31You just post photo and then there's no standards of it.
02:34If it happens, it happens but,
02:37if it's relevant, you don't ask yourself if it's relevant,
02:39there's no one to ensure that the standard is there,
02:43to ensure that why it should be told to other people.
02:47Because news is not just reporting.
02:50Whatever it is.
02:51But it also has to ensure that whatever it is,
02:56could shape the foundation thinking and for the good of nation.
03:00What about the human element?
03:02Ah, at least.
03:05The human element and the standard is basically.
03:08I mean, you don't write everything that's happening around you.
03:12But who's to say what's to write if you are in social media?
03:17You can do anything.
03:19Like I said, if they wanted to act like a news media,
03:23they need to know about the ethics,
03:25about how to cover the news,
03:28what to do, what to inspected for you to be there.
03:30I mean, we were trained.
03:32Because, like, there's sort of reason why
03:36Malaysia Media Council exists.
03:38To enforce and ensure that the standard is there.
03:45We all have code of conducts.
03:46I mean, before standard set by anyone,
03:50you as an individual, as a journalist, as a photographer,
03:53first, videographers, and everyone,
03:55in Indonesia, you have that set code of conduct
03:59that even you yourself and, ah, ah, idea to.
04:03I mean, you know that you can't ask such questions,
04:08you can't write such things.
04:11So, you know how to handle yourself.
04:13So, from that code of conduct, you have ethics.
04:18It's easier to ensure the standards of your having new media.
04:24I mean, you have to ensure that the right to reply.
04:26You can't just write, ah, slender, slender,
04:29rusting, rusting.
04:30So, I think each media company's code of conduct
04:34is enough for us to have this kind of base standard.
04:38So, with the establishment of, ah, agreed upon
04:41code of conduct by the Malaysia Media Council,
04:45so, it's easy for us to see the standard were there
04:49and maintain training as well.
04:50We are not doctors.
04:52So, we don't have hypocriticals or,
04:54and then have to train for six years or whatnot.
04:57But, we do have that background.
05:01I mean, we do have code of conduct
05:02and then training to do so.
05:04There are some laws that also set the standard.
05:08For example, I mean, the photography of miners,
05:13of, ah, the details of, ah, rape victims.
05:16So, that is imposed for standards.
05:19And, that should be followed, ah.
05:22But, they are laws, most of the laws in Malaysia now,
05:25like, ah, PPPA, ah, CMA, and others are mostly recent things.
05:32Yes, they are code of conducts.
05:34However, the, the same freedom, ah, applies where,
05:39a journalist's job, ah, shouldn't be, ahmpered.
05:45If you need to cover things, you, you should be given access.
05:50I mean, ah, ah, there are reports before where,
05:53some political parties or even politicians, ah, like, block,
05:59some, ah, journalist from, ah, ah,
06:03ah, journalists that they hated, or for publication they hated,
06:06from covering events.
06:07There are reports that journalists are being accosted
06:10while filming a, ah, problem, when they are looking at, ah,
06:14this government office, and then, they're being accosted away.
06:19So, and they are journalists being dogs because they are writing about and the people hated their writing.
06:26So, I think that's the freedom that we need now and there are things that need to be allowed without
06:33even compromising the laws that we have.
06:37I mean, they lost that. I mean, we still have Sedition Act although it was before our time and still
06:47being used for journalists.
06:49So, I think that's very, very bad.
06:51For MMM, our role would be towards self-regulation to ensure that we adhere to the ethics.
07:02I mean, we wanted mandated to have to ensure that our standards, like I said before, we are maybe 60,
07:1070 to more, 80% maybe.
07:14It's basically to ensure that we are not being harassed and I think the late night phone calls to the
07:23editors to take down news with Annie.
07:32One night peace.
