CIJ events on occasion of world press freedom day

the centre for independent journalism. (CIJ) in conjunction with world press freedom day on 3 may., is organising a 2-day event, to be held at the annexe, central market, KL.

please visit their blog for more information.

briefly…

3 may, saturday
public talk on the topic ‘towards ethical media’ (psst! this is the talk where i was suppose to be one of the speaker! see my post below).

time:   12.30pm – 2.00pm

time: 4.00pm
writers for women’s rights workshop

4 may, sunday
public talk on topic ‘towards media and information law reform
time:  12.30pm – 2.00pm

2.00pm
launch of BENAR campaign!

BENAR is about Press Freedom, a subject that should be close to your
hearts. While political exigencies constrain some freedoms, the
professional lurking within every practising Malaysian journalist
would surely yearn for the day when he would be free to discharge his
duty without fear or favour.

both days – activities all day long e.g. exhibition, wall painting.

those who are in KL, try not to miss the events ya. this a once-a-year event and all for a good cause. being bloggers who are now touted to be the ‘alternative media’, it would be good for you to attend.

oh btw, i hope those of you whom i had made special appeal (via email) to please announce the BENAR launch in your blog and/or have the BENAR logo on youg blog, i would appreciate you if you could please please do this little miss here this favour. as we are new, we need all the publicity we can get. thank you so much for your kind help!

note: suppose to post this up last night but my streamyx connection went bonkers!
