New Year Resolution
ISSUE 460
CONTENTS
At the end of last year Sameway reported on
two alleged cases of deception happening in the
Melbourne Chinese community which I regarded as
our social responsibility as a publication. Somebody
queried why I needed to be that serious rather than
just to brush off controversies if I wanted to run
Sameway as a business appealing to all people. I
believed running media is not the same as running
a business because of the associated social
responsibility to uphold social core values. So we
must possess remarkable integrity, independent
thinking, and unbiased proposition to speak out the
truth.
Freedom of speech in Hong Kong has lately
become an international point of interest. Five
staff of an anti-Communist publishing company
were respectively disappeared under different
circumstances in different countries one of which
seemingly involved illegal arrest inside Hong Kong
with freedom of speech. This terrified many Hong
Kong people as their possession of freedom would
disappear too one day.
Not all media are the same. The most important
attributes of a media is its public trustworthiness,
respect from and influencing power on its
audience, to be attained through its long term
commitment to improve quality standard.
It is not easy to maintain a high quality Chinese
publication on an overseas Chinese community.
We have to work very hard on our sourcing and
editing of materials as we could not just rely on
free download of unverified information from the
Internet. We must aim for faultless production and
appealing design in the interest of our readers.
On the marketing advertisement we must offer
effective service to our patrons. Only when all
these have been done well then a publication can
become popular and viable.
In this New Year I wish all readers a better year
of advancement and enjoyment. I hope our team
would further improve the quality of our publication
to the benefit of our readers.
