Balanced Free Media...In Malaysia?

On 3 May 2013 UNESCO celebrates the twentieth year of World Press Freedom Day since it was first established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993.

To commemorate the day, BFM's Melisa Idris speaks to Dr Tessa J. Houghton from the University of Nottingham Malaysia Campus on the election coverage monitoring project -- Watching the Watchdog.

She also speaks about the balance between good journalism practices and business considerations.
