Resumo
The right to freedom of information and responsible journalism are fundamental to economic and human development. However these concepts are applied diff erently from country to country. It can be implied that press freedom is continuously under siege through either subtle or more emphatic means of pressure. The media also function as gatekeepers. The very fi rst underlying cause of this siege is rooted in the process of news production in which we fi nd concepts that determine how the news is “manufactured” prior to publication. In Asia, despite its remarkable economic development, the press continues to be controlled by governments’ approach to journalism as a tool of “social responsibility” or to foster governments’ objectives.Os direitos autorais dos artigos publicados nesta revista são de propriedade dos autores, com direitos de primeira publicação para o periódico.
