The Dark Side of Journalism

This week, In Case You Missed It delves into the darker side of being a reporter and whether journalism is a dangerous profession. In 2015, 71 journalists died on duty, mostly from war and conflict reporting, but the number of reporters dying from covering the politics and corruption beat is still alarmingly at the top of the list. Where is journalism heading? We explore.

Here are the segments of the episode:

2:20 - Asia Calling 1 - Self-driving cars in Singapore

9:56 - Asia Calling 2 - The revival of Bamyan historical site in Afghanistan

16:44 - The Dark Side of Journalism

This episode was produced by Aisyah Tajuddin, Aziff Azuddin, Sharyl Kaur, and Muhammad Haniff Baharudin.
