Interviews

In undertaking this research project, the team has interviewed ten prominent journalists, bloggers, editors, and politicians in Malaysia. Each interviewee was asked a similar series of questions, with some minor differentiation as relevant, by our panel of three interviewers. At this stage, transcripts are available in English. Each transcript has been recorded as faithfully as possible, with minor editing for clarity. Editing and uploading of the interviews is also underway with some of these now complete.
