This book studies the Importance of balancing public interest and freedom of expression in Malaysia through a Press or a Media Council. Despite Press and Media Council playing a major part in balancing the two extremes mentioned above worldwide, the author found little emphasis given by the current existing literature "on the models of regulatory frameworks of the Press and Media Council. This is, in the author's opinion, surprising since regulatory frameworks would determine the independence and, to a certain extent, the effectiveness of a Press or Media Council as the guardian of the free press, as well as, at the same time, the watchdog of the press ethical conduct.
