Television, Radio, Newspapers ... And Blogs
ST Feb 17, 2009
They blog, we believe
AS FAR as the Singaporean social-media consumer is concerned, blogs are just as important as traditional forms of media like television, radio and newspapers.
In fact, Google's 'Blogger' system, which lets people create blogs for free, has shot up to fifth among the top 100 most-visited sites in Singapore.
In a recent study conducted by marketing agency OgilvyOne Asia Pacific, more than one in two Singaporeans said they trust blogs as much as newspapers or TV news bulletins.
The problem with the Singapore press is that they work too hard to help support the Ruling Powers in this Country. In the process, they destroy their own credibility with their readers. Slowly but steadily, it all goes downhill from there.
When some clever guy in the PAP originally coined the phrase "nation-building press", he meant it in a positive way. A "nation-building press" was supposed to be something to be proud of. But now the term is hardly ever used in Singapore, except in a sarcastic or satirical manner.
