Why do some stories make the news and others don’t? Do reporters just regurgitate press releases without investigating further? Does real journalism exist in Brunei?

In this panel, we explore what purpose journalism serves in a community where independent reporting is limited; why social media and citizen journalism has replaced traditional news sources; and how ‘fake news’ has become such a powerful force in shaping public perception of events.

Our panelists will include journalists from several local media outlets ranging from print to digital.

This event is hosted by The Scoop, as part of The Tiny Lit Fest 2020.
