The Temasek Review was the first internet news site to report on the news, well before any of the newspapers owned by SPH and Mediacorp (read our article here)
The matter would have been kept under wraps if not for the wild speculations and rumors circulating in cyberspace after we published the news which finally forced Straits Times and Channel News Asia to report on it two days later.
The writers for Singaporean online sites that purport to be alternative source of news, opinions and analysis should really try to tone down the beating of the chest every time they think they have trumped the mainstream media owned by SPH and MediaCorp.
They really should stop defining themselves in terms of the other.
They really also should stop thinking of themselves as ‘alternative’. They should just focus on being a credible source of news, opinions and analysis.
Maybe then, they can start being the mainstream.
