摘要 互聯網普及對馬來西亞和新加坡的「發展新聞學」實踐產生了不易化解的張力。雖然兩國政府皆信服於「傳播與發展典範」,但是兩國的社會、經濟與政治現狀之差異產生了兩種不大相同的局面—馬國各種網絡媒體覓得生存空間,且有日益煥發之勢,而資訊與傳播科技更為進步的新國卻背道而馳。

為了理解前述面向,本文勾勒馬新的資訊與傳播科技政策、網絡媒體的演變與差異、規管傳統媒體的手段、網絡新聞業的沿革與政府的回應,並指出新國的互聯網使用雖然更為普及,資訊與傳播科技政策更為全面,但是其政治控制也更為嚴厲,以致其網絡新聞業不比馬國發達。最後嘗試就兩國網絡媒體景觀何以差異提出初步解釋,以及提出可深入研究之相關議題。
Abstract The widespread popularity of the Internet has resulted in a complicated tension in the practice of “development journalism” in Malaysia and Singapore. Although the governments of both countries are convinced with the “communication and development paradigm,” their differences in social, economic, and political aspects have resulted in the different landscapes of online media in their respective countries. Various online media in Malaysia have been able to find their footing and are even flourishing now. On the other hand, the fate of online media in Singapore is not the same as Malaysia’s even though the country is more advanced in information and communication technologies (ICTs). To understand the above-mentioned issues, this article will outline the ICT policy, the differences in and evolution of online media, the means of regulating the traditional media, the revolution of online journalism, and government reactions and responses in both Malaysia and Singapore. This article will also highlight the online journalism in Singapore, which is not progressing in tandem with the country’s high Internet penetration and comprehensive ICT policy mainly due to the country’s strict political control and restriction. In conclusion, this article provides preliminary explanations on the different landscapes in online media in both Malaysia and Singapore and suggests that the related issues need further research.
