The Nut Graph’s Plan B

Shape of a Pocket by Jacqueline Ann Surin

July 22, 2010

WHEN Cindy Tham and I launched The Nut Graph in August 2008, I was clear that I wanted to achieve two things. One was to create a place for independent, accountable and kick-ass journalism that was premised on the highest ethical standards in journalism. These standards included ideas, such as doing a fact and quote […]

Signs of the times

By Cindy Tham

December 24, 2009

SOCIAL networking. Sensational or controversial news involving women, politicians or celebrities. If our searches on the internet are indications of what we as a nation or society are concerned or curious about, then these were the topics that most internet users in Malaysia were interested in over the past year, according to Google Zeitgeist 2009. […]

Take back the tech!

By Cindy Tham

December 10, 2009

Corrected at 3.20pm, 10 Dec 2009 MORE than 30 years ago, a candlelight procession of women marched through the streets of Belgium in 1976 to Take Back the Night.

Walking down Sesame Street

By Cindy Tham

November 12, 2009

The Muppets of Sesame Street LIKE most adults, I wouldn’t have realised that Sesame Street turned 40 on 10 Nov 2009 if not for the series of adorable Google doodles. After all, most adults would have stopped watching the show, which targets young children, a long time ago. But, a steady dose of Google logos […]

Not only is it still making good music and speaking up on socio-political issues, it is also setting new benchmarks in the use of online technology. A record-breaking 96,000 fans watched the U2 […]

The shape of books to come?

By Cindy Tham

October 15, 2009

Level 26, with accompanying website “TO SEE the interrogation, log into LEVEL26.com and enter the code: violated.” I’m halfway through the digi-novel Level 26: Dark Origins. The note provides the code to access another cyber-bridge, an online video that’s part of the whole multi-platform literary experience. I put the book down, log into the website, […]

The age of stupid?

by Cindy Tham

October 1, 2009

IT was Earth Overshoot Day on 25 Sept 2009. The day human demand for natural resources and waste production exceeded the ecosystem’s regenerative capacity for the year. From this date till the end of the year, we would be meeting our ecological demand on a deficit, by using up resource stocks and building up greenhouse […]
