PETALING JAYA: The Malaysian Media Council (MMC) has been formed and the Act governing it has come into effect, but the debates on its role as a regulator or protector of media continue.
In a forum session titled “Malaysian Media Council: Regulator or Media Protector?”, held in conjunction with National Journalists Day (Hawana) 2025, panellists discussed how the newly-formed council will govern the local media landscape, the threats from technology and artificial intelligence and how newsrooms will have to evolve with it, among many issues.
