​Developing a new generation of journalists

The Business Times, page 6

It is more important than ever that journalists report accurately and objectively, given the upheaval from social media sites such as Facebook and the increasing frequency of fake news, said SPH chairman Lee Boon Yang yesterday during the annual scholarship award ceremony at SPH News Centre. SPH handed out scholarships for undergraduate studies to Aqil Bin Hamzah; Zhang Qianxue; Crystal Heng; and Chua Wei Qian. Mr Aqil, who will be pursuing communication studies at NTU next month, said that his six-month internship at The New Paper this year had affirmed his passion for journalism.
