The Straits Times editor wants to be friends with blogs
As expected, STOMP made the front page news of The Straits Times today.
However, Aaron Koh, for ITJourno Asia, wrote an interesting headline that might change the landscape between the Singapore blogging community and the local mainstream media.
Headline: The Straits Times editor says: Its time to accept blogs and be part of the phenomenon
Why did Koh write that?
Because Koh quoted Han Fook Kwang, editor for The Straits Times, to say “I don’t blog and I don’t rule out blogging in the future.”
“My children blog and it’s a new phenomenon,” said Han.
“We have to accept to it, get use to it and be part of it.”
For rest of the story, you would have to visit www.itjournoasia.com , but access is only allowed via subscription only.
themediaslut wonders if this is the new peace between the Singapore blogging community and the local mainstream media.
