[edit] Press release
I have removed a copy-paste of a MediaCorp Group press release that was added to the article. Press release, Google cache.
If someone would like to add to the article using the press release as a resource, that would be perfectly reasonable. --TenOfAllTrades(talk) 28 June 2005 06:12 (UTC)
Hi all
I have updated this page to include media quality issues about Channel News Asia. Minor portions of external materials have been quoted.

- What you basically added was a whole bunch of text on Singapore's press freedom in general, with little linkup with that on the CNA itself. Why do you add all that text, and then ask the reader to form his own assuptions, when it is plain obvious what kind of outcome you are expecting from the average reader? This is hardly NPOV, and is hardly appriopriate for this article. Please write about the channel itself, and if there is a need to question its impartiality, please write about direct criticisms of its content by third party sources instead of trying to conjour up your own assumptions.--Huaiwei 16:43, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Censorship
Thanks Huawei for your comments
What I was trying to achieve was to place the ChannelNewsAsia entry in the context of the issues around Censorship in Singapore which are a hot topic.
In hindsight, I agree that my links were not the best way to do so. There is nonetheless a need to provide a link so that readers are aware of the media context in which ChannelNewsAsia operates and the issues around censorship. Otherwise one would be unaware of the situation in which ChannelNewsAsia finds itself.
Fortunately somebody has started a page examining the issues of censorship in Singapore. As part of a (if not the) major media organisation in Singapore this is something that directly affects ChannelNewsAsia. I have provided a straightforward link to the entry on censorship in Singapore. That page more thoroughly covers the media issues I was trying to raise. I hope you find this satisfactory.
Regards

- self censorship is also common, it is starting to look like US news media. disgusting but not unique to singapore. Akinkhoo 06:26, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Cleanup
This article devotes much of its space to listing the channel's various anchors and correspondents, with little of substance about the channel besides a possibly biased paragraph on censorship. Johnleemk | Talk 15:24, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Sushila Krishnan
Note: Pussila Krishnan? Her name's Sushila, ignorant fools.
[edit] Clean-up Time
I believe this article could have been written better and more professionally. We should add information such as its history, unique features that distinguish it from other news channels, distribution and its criticisms. I don't think we need to mention all the correspondents and news casters, maybe if you want to do so please do it at a subpage. --Russianroulette2004 12:19, 8 May 2007 (UTC)
[edit] conflicting report
CNA has made several conflicting report. 1 of them is the report in the great wall being viewable in space, despite the fact that they also reported that the chinese astronaut stated it was not viewable at all. and when the news were brought forward in their forum, it was censored and deleted. it continues to push the point that it is viewable in it's random fact just to make asia "look good". i hope they take a serious view on ensuring their information is correct because creditability should be THE BIG THING for an news organisation!
