News reports everywhere – and so little time. What’s worse, so little time to digest what has been said, written and commented on, even on matters that affect us daily. Breakfast Network will be your filter (note: we didn’t say aggregator). We aim to keep an eye on the news for you, especially Singapore news in both mainstream and new media that could affect your way of living or your way of thinking.
See this site as your breakfast menu.
We’re combing through media stories on Singapore, picking out bread and butter staples that we think you should know about. We will point out the questions (or at least try to!) which should have been asked, as well as the answers which tell you nothing. Most of us are past media practitioners. So we know that most readers skim the news or read without a full appreciation of the nuances – and the nonsense.
Why swallow everything? We’ll give you some bite-sized chunks.
Some people do not read news at all! If so, see us as your first cup of coffee to keep your eyes open to what’s happening on this little red dot.
We suppose you can see us as a media literacy tool – with a take. We’ll do our best not to be self-righteous when we write columns because we know no one has a monopoly on wisdom. In fact, we intend to have fun doing this. We do not claim to represent anyone but ourselves although it is our hope that we reflect the sentiments of at least a strand of the population on this island.
So we’ll be a moderate site, beholden to no political group, ideological camp or commercial interest. Everybody who is part of this network will be named and have a mugshot. You can choose to throw eggs at us.
We’ll make you an omelette.
