“The Fake News Media”, as coined by President Trump is a term that we have all become familiar with in recent years. The popularisation and increased spread of fake news has had substantial impact on the media. The public has begun to lose trust in the media while the regulation of fake news has stifled freedom of the press in several jurisdictions. In this episode, we explore the impact of fake news on the media and the notion of freedom of the press. We explore these ideas by looking into Singapore's controversial fake news legislation, the Protection from Online Falsehoods and Manipulations Act.
