SITE CONTENT

WHO SUPPLIES THE PICTURES AND WORDS? 
I will segregate this answer into two parts; local news and international news.

Local news. All the local news and written by local journalists. The photos are also taken by local photojournalists.

International news. Most of the international news is taken from Reuters, Bernama or AFP. Pictures included.

For example, THIS ARTICLE was taken from AFP. THIS ARTICLE was taken from Reuters and THIS ARTICLE was taken from Bernama.


HOW MUCH OF IT IS BROUGHT IN OR SELF GENERATED? 
Local news are self generated while international news are brought in from Reuters, Bernama and AFP. It's cheaper to bring in news from other news agencies because they can cut costs on travelling fees and other expenses spent on journalists.

GOOD JOURNALISM VS CHEAP JOURNALISM 

“Good journalism does not often topple a president, but it frequently changes the lives of citizens, both grand and ordinary.”

“Good journalism holds communities together in times of crisis, providing the information and the images that constitute shared experiences.”

“Bad journalism — failing  to report important news, or reporting news shallowly, inaccurately or unfairly — can leave people dangerously uninformed.”
