Being a a former news editor and out of the NST, where else can she seek refugee?

In today's STAR, she made reference to physicist Stephen Hawking's question: “In a world that is in chaos politically, socially and environmentally, how can the human race survive the next hundred years?”

She would prefer to leave her baggage behind (NST) and start with a clean slate in MARS! (STAR)

There is no need, she can easily survive the next hundred years by just being herself; Check the details (how) at:

Folks

There is an incestuous relationship in the media industry. Reporters and journalists get poached, resigned and got a job with the former competitor, the they resign and join back the newspaper they started their career with.

The expansion of their brainpower is limited and that is why Malaysian mass media reporting is so sub-standard.

You know, what in-breeding does to intelligence?

Star and NST are owned by the same ruling parties, and journalists moving from one to other don't bring freshness, rather, more of the same and staleness of ideas and approach.

What can Rose Ismail bring to Star? More guts? Disciplined journalism, class-act?

I doubt it. He will be just another run-of-the-mill journalist who will be like another ship passing through the night.

Folks

Sorry, didn't realise Rose Ismail is a "she".

Please read earlier email as "she"

Mars is a planet, not a STAR ;-)

But ... if only some of you have the opportunity to read the STAR of the early 70s, when TAR was the chairman. Varrooooom, then a great post.
