国际知名媒体人联署 呼吁我国政府撤回《防假消息法》

27名国内外知名媒体人,包括《砂拉越報告》主编克莱尔与《新叙事》(NewNaratif)总编辑韓俐穎,发表联合声明,质疑我国政府推行的《防假消息法》,反而会阻碍媒体人追寻事实真相。与其一味通过“恶法”,倒不如用真诚有理据的交流讨论,来打击假新闻。

《防止网络假消息籍网络操纵法》在本月1日提呈国会一读。在本月19日,本地已有一群本土主流和网络媒体人,担忧新法将进一步侵害言论自由,打击媒体从业员的工作。他们也认为,政府理应更积极与媒体从业员联手抗衡假消息。

有关联合声明将提呈给通讯及新闻部长易华仁所发出的文告。声明指出,《防假消息法》草案“缺乏考量实际操作层面”。特别是媒体人在追踪报导下,真相往往是随着事件进展,才会逐渐展露的。

媒体追踪报导逐渐揭开真相

“在多数的情况下,对事件持有相互矛盾的报导是常态。只有在多元的观点与报导下,真相才会逐渐清晰,”文告说道。

文告也强调,在无法辨识何谓恶意誤導与无心之失的情况下,防假消息法形同带来不必要的繁琐负担,即使是对于那些秉持真诚進行報導的记者。最终,此法只会掣肘寻求精确资讯的编采工作。

只要事实无法被核实,媒体机构无法让报导出街,特别是在政府无法即时回应媒体咨询的新加坡,情况尤为如此。

虽然此前我国律政部长尚穆根一再强调,法案只会针对假消息,而不是个人意见,但文告里也提到重点,说明政府对于“事实的陈述”与“意见”并未作出清楚的说明。

“评论人经常引用事实来支持他们的立场,而记者的解读与事实的陈述,可能会和部长的理解产生矛盾。”文告强调。

媒体人也提出忧虑,指法案赋予部长相当大的权限,也有可能被滥用。

媒体人促请新加坡政府撤回该法案,并建议与其使用“恶法”,倒不如用“真诚和有理据的讨论”来打击假消息。

其他参与联署的记者也包括: 获奖无数的半岛电视台特派员赵矞、曼谷《路透社》前副局长安德魯(Andrew MacGregor Marshal)、《外交政策杂志》(Foreign Policy )资深编辑詹姆斯(James Palmer)以及前英国广播电台与CNN主播薇洛妮卡(Veronica Pedrosa)。
