  Media and Power in Southeast Asia


  By Cherian George, Hong Kong Baptist University, Gayathry
  Venkiteswaran, University of Nottingham, Malaysia Campus

This study of Southeast Asian media and politics explores issues of 
global relevance pertaining to journalism's relationship with political 
power. It argues that the development of free, independent, and plural 
media has been complicated by trends towards commercialisation, digital 
platforms, and identity-based politics. These forces interact with state 
power in complex ways, opening up political space and pluralising 
discourse, but without necessarily producing structural change. The 
Element has sections on the democratic transitions of Indonesia, Myanmar 
and Malaysia; authoritarian resilience in Singapore; media ownership 
patterns in non-communist Southeast Asia; intolerance in Indonesia and 
Myanmar; and digital disruptions in Vietnam and Malaysia.
