AIMs seeks feedback on New Media
Public forum on 19 Sept 2008.
The Institute of Policy Studies and the Law Faculty of the National University of Singapore will be organising the above forum to gather feedback from members of the public on the recently published consultation paper by the Advisory Council on the Impact of New Media on Society (AIMS).
The advisory council was appointed last year by the Government to study the far-reaching social, ethical, legal and regulatory implications of a rapidly growing new media sector. Last month, it unveiled its consultation paper, entitled “ENGAGING NEW MEDIA – Challenging Old Assumptions”. The paper contains recommendations on how and whether Government should engage with citizens, regulate the Internet and protect minors from harmful online content.
The paper is available for download at the website of AIMS (see http://www.aims.org.sg/library/docs/Executive%20Summary.pdf for the executive summary and http://www.aims.org.sg/library/docs/AIMS%20consultation%20paper%20-%20Engaging%20New%20Media.pdf for the full paper). AIMS will refine its paper in the light of public feedback before submitting it to the Government.
