Bio & Policy Statement from A Nominee for Correspondent Member Governor 7 Board of Governors 2015-2016 Stephen ENGLE 安允文 Affiliation: Bloomberg TV Stephen Engle is an award-winning broadcast journalist with more than 24 years of experience communicating business, technology and general news to audiences across the Asia-Pacific region. Currently based in Hong Kong as an on-air correspondent for BLOOMBERG TELEVISION, Mr. Engle conveys breaking news on the business and financial markets of greater China and the rest of Asia. In 2013, Mr. Engle was honoured as the Best Current Affairs Presenter at the Asian Television Awards and was a finalist again in 2014. Mr. Engle's distinguished broadcasting career as anchor, reporter and producer has seen him based in Beijing, Hong Kong, Singapore, Taipei and Tokyo. Before joining BLOOMBERG TELEVISION he had worked with CNBC, CNN and NHK. Mr. Engle brings essential and dynamic insight to business persons, finance professionals, investors and other viewers on the key markets and industries throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Highlights in Mr. Engle's career include covering the visits to Asia by U.S. Presidents Bill Clinton, George W. Bush and Barack Obama. He also has interviewed Nobel Peace Laureates Aung San Suu Kyi and Kim Dae-Jung, as well as a host of major political leaders such as the United Nations Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon, Taiwan's Ma Ying-jeou and Chen Shui-bian, the U.K.'s Tony Blair and Singapore Prime Minister Lee Hsien Loong. Mr. Engle also has interviewed business leaders such as Ford Motor's William Ford Jr. and Alan Mulally, Virgin's Richard Branson, Toyota Motor’s Akio Toyoda, Arcelor Mittal's Lakshmi Mittal and Viacom's Sumner Redstone, among many others. Mission Statement Having just returned to Hong Kong from spending the last seven years in Beijing as the Bloomberg Television correspondent in China, I bring extensive knowledge of the media’s often touchy relationship with Beijing. As many of you know, I was beaten by plain-clothed (but armed) security agents on Wangfujing during the 2011 Jasmine incident. Their indefensible actions against the foreign press corps that afternoon should be, and were, roundly condemned. However, much as it pains me to say this as a journalist, shouting Beijing down will not improve the often testy relationship we have with the authorities. It will only confirm their beliefs we are enemies of China. We must use a unified voice to encourage engagement to ensure the hostility towards the media does not intensify and lead to incidents or injuries far worse than mine. .

Television in Singapore: a Brief Introduction to Its Television Industry
-Journal of Arts, Science & Commerce ■E-ISSN2229-4686■ISSN2231-4172 TELEVISION IN SINGAPORE: A BRIEF INTRODUCTION TO ITS TELEVISION INDUSTRY Aaron Rao, Lecturer, School of IT, Digital Media & Mass Communication, TMC Academy, Singapore. ABSTRACT TV arrived in Singapore on 15 February 1963 and since its inaugural launch Singapore’s TV industry has undoubtedly developed over the years. In the context of the four theories of the press, it can be quickly concluded that Singapore’s TV industry is Authoritarian by its regulative nature. Despite being a democratic country, the freedom to express freely what is on one’s mind through the use of TV as a medium is still extremely restrictive. As a result, there are many reasons as to why Singapore’s TV industry is still moderately unadventurous, especially where censorship is concerned. As the TV industry in Singapore is operated and fully controlled by the government, the content that appears on TV is usually highly censored, scripted to precision in accordance with the MDA guidelines, non-offensive and contain the usage of propaganda. This paper seeks to give a brief insight into not only the history and transformation of Singapore’s television (TV) industry to what it is today, but also to better understand how the said country’s TV industry currently operates, and how their content is produced as well as the impacts it has around the region. Keywords: Singapore, Television, Ownership, Censorship, Regulation. International Refereed Research Journal ■www.researchersworld.com■Vol.–V, Issue – 3, July 2014 [56] -Journal of Arts, Science & Commerce ■E-ISSN2229-4686■ISSN2231-4172 INTRODUCTION: In the context of the four theories of the press, it can be quickly concluded that Singapore’s TV industry is Authoritarian by its regulative nature.

The Development of the UK Television News Industry 1982 - 1998
-iì~ '1,,J C.12 The Development of the UK Television News Industry 1982 - 1998 Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy by Alison Preston Deparent of Film and Media Studies University of Stirling July 1999 Abstract This thesis examines and assesses the development of the UK television news industry during the period 1982-1998. Its aim is to ascertain the degree to which a market for television news has developed, how such a market operates, and how it coexists with the 'public service' goals of news provision. A major purpose of the research is to investigate whether 'the market' and 'public service' requirements have to be the conceptual polarities they are commonly supposed to be in much media academic analysis of the television news genre. It has conducted such an analysis through an examination of the development strategies ofthe major news organisations of the BBC, ITN and Sky News, and an assessment of the changes that have taken place to the structure of the news industry as a whole. It places these developments within the determining contexts of Government economic policy and broadcasting regulation. The research method employed was primarily that of the in-depth interview with television news management, politicians and regulators: in other words, those instrumental in directing the strategic development within the television news industry. Its main findings are that there has indeed been a development of market activity within the television news industry, but that the amount of this activity has been limited by the particular economic attributes of the television news product.
