KULAI: Those seeking to dispute the Malaysian Code of Ethics for Journalists must first understand the principles embedded in the code before making claims that it will restrict the media’s freedom, says Teo Nie Ching.
The Deputy Communications Minister said that the updated code of ethics contains general journalistic principles, emphasises good and fair reporting and serves as a guide for media accreditation cardholders in carrying out their duties.
