Print news still relevant, says newspaper vendor chairman

MELAKA: The myriad of fake news in social media is the reason that newspapers are still relevant among Malaysians, said lawyer Datuk Tan Hor Sam.

Tan, who is the Melaka Newspaper Vendor’s Association honorary chairman cited an example that a UK financial firm surveyed 1,050 respondents comprising prominent businessmen and found that 61% of them acknowledged that print is the most reliable source of information and should be preserved.
