Hi! Firstly, thank you all so much. I'm a massive fan of what R.AGE is doing for the community, and I'm sure I'm not the only one who's been inspired by R.AGE's hard work. I have a number of questions, so let's get to it. I apologise in advance for referring to the collective as you, and realise some of these questions might be more relevant to The Star as a whole than to R.AGE.
May I ask what project you're working on right now?
What drives all of you to do what you do, and how did all of you get into investigative journalism in the first place?
How much influence does the government have over what's published? Is there a difference in how much influence our previous and current governments had/have?
Have you ever struggled with government censorship or been prevented from publishing something that reflects badly on them?
What's your biggest concern regarding the state of journalism in Malaysia?
And as an aspiring writer:
What makes a good journalist?
What makes a good newspaper article?
How do you identify a talented writer?
What's the most important trait/virtue a writer can have?
Edited to add:
Is there anything you think Malaysian journalism lacks? (I realise this is rather open-ended; feel free to interpret it however you wish.)
On behalf of someone I know: "There's this group of young child rights advocates called vanguards4change and they're proposing the idea of a child parliament in Malaysia. As journalists who mainly focus on social causes, what are your thoughts on this?"
