On media and democratic development

Melinda Quintos de Jesus, the executive director of the Center for Media Freedom and Responsibility (CMFR), discussed media and democratic development last January 25 at the fourth session of the “Transformation in New Democracies" conference organized by the Taiwan Foundation for Democracy.

"Democratic communities must foster a new relationship between the press and the public, more connected and more interactive," De Jesus said in her speech. "Such a relationship will evolve a new kind of journalism to meet the challenge of the age of democracy."
