IPS Spotlight on Cultural Policy Series Thirteen: Roundtable on Singapore’s Television Industry: The View Ahead

This roundtable discussion is on the development of and prospects for Singapore’s television industry from the perspective of government policy. It aims to answer the following questions: What has the government done to grow the industry? Which policies have worked and which have not? What further needs to be done? Do current initiatives adequately address global developments in content creation and technology? What are the opportunities and challenges ahead?

This is the thirteen roundtable in our Spotlight on Cultural Policy Series.

This series is convened by IPS researcher, Mr Tan Tarn How.
