Has trust in SPH Media and its publications been broken?
In response, Mrs Teo reiterated that SPH Media is expected to share the findings of its audit and risk committee’s investigation with the Ministry of Communications and Information once it is completed, and make the necessary rectification. He noted that while the Government’s metrics for accountability of public funding to SPH Media are readership and reach, circulation data is an important area, and he questioned if there was inadequate due diligence by MCI.
She said the Government concluded that the reasons for public funding remain valid, as does the level of funding. As for Mr Chua’s question on whether circulation revenues was impacted, that is the reason SPH Media has asked its committee to investigate the matter more fully, she said.
