“For Singapore, its test for its own democracy must be whether it fit and serve the interests of its people and conditions, and not serve some abstract ideal that the Western media thought it ought to conform to. If in 10 years, Philippines, Taiwan and Korea were better societies because they adopted the US model, Singapore would hurry to catch.” PeopleIfsYearsInterestDemocracyConditionsMediaOughtFitModelsIdealsTestsWesternAbstractConformAdoptedKoreaSingaporePhilippinesTaiwanWestern Media Author:Goh Chok Tong
“It’s an interesting sign of the times that models are being booked for jobs and covers because of their following on a social media platform, I walked in the Balmain show for Olivier Rousteing.

“The Internet, too, has strong attributes of a public good, and has undermined the “private good” attributes of old media. Internet service providers obviously can exclude people, but the actual content -the values, the ideas- can be shared with no loss of value for the consumer.

“The key question facing those of us working in the media (old and new) is whether we embrace and adapt to the radical changes brought about by the Internet or pretend that we can somehow hop into a journalistic Way Back Machine and return to a past that no longer exists and can't be resurrected. There is no question that, as the industry moves forward and we figure out the new rules of the road, there will be - and needs to be - a great deal of experimentation with new revenue models.” WayNeedsPastMovingDealsMediaFiguresKeysIndustryReturnInternetModelsMachinesEmbraceMoving ForwardRadicalHopsRevenueExperimentationJournalisticRadical ChangeOld And New Author:Arianna Huffington
