这一天，我们先看了两部纪录片，再听第二部片“Sotong”的导演赵慈莹分享她用影像来介入社会的点滴。她曾是电台制作人，目前任职于 The Fourth Media，主要以影像或纪录片形式来报道社会课题。“Sotong”是她两年前在 Freedom Film Network 的赞助与支持下拍摄的作品。

此片以变装皇后为主角，聚焦在她们有笑也有泪的生命经验。慈莹忆起当初想拍摄的起心动念，是源于一次政府扫荡，让刚好在附近赶到现场目睹一切的她非常愤怒，因她过去也曾被公权力不正义对待。后来她决定化愤怒为行动，用镜头来让皇后们自己发声，还原她们真实的灵魂与性格。

“我本身是个较顽皮叛逆的人，当记者很常要去现场做严肃的事，但我就是想要do something in different ways。” 因此在慈莹的镜头中，主角们个个形象鲜活，充满生命力，尽管背后有许多沉重与挣扎，但还是勇敢地笑对人生。导演独特的剪辑和创意，也让故事变得相对轻盈，观影时同学不时大笑，大家都对里面的人物和对白留下深刻印象。

从决定要拍这主题起，慈莹花了一整年的时间和皇后们相处，很多时候只是纯聊天，和他们做朋友。她认为，这些真诚的陪伴和聆听，是人与人之间基本的相待之道，也是建立信任的基础。 “每个人都想要被听见，但不是每个人都有机会被听见。” 她对自己身为拍摄者的权力位置很警惕，也很有意识地小心拿捏，拍摄期间，她会和皇后们一起讨论，用她们想要的方式来呈现和表达自己。

慈莹也提到，媒体经常讲求客观，但实际上每个纪录者都必然会有自己的视角和立场，也会有局限，重点还是在于如何负责任地贴近真实。正如国家或主流媒体长期将边缘群体标签为“受害者”或“异类”，那也是一种充满偏见和污名的叙事框架，长期影响大众的既定印象，而贴标签的人，也许从来就没有真正认识过他们笔下或镜头中的这些人。

“我不需要中立客观，我只需要做一个人。”

“摄录机是一面镜子，拍摄者只是个容器。我需要做的只是让容器和拍摄初衷尽可能的纯净，这样才能更好的照见内心，和世界。”

慈莹说话轻柔缓慢，但内心有满满的能量和温暖，对拍摄弱势/边缘群体的伦理边界也有认真的反刍和思考。她最后寄语同学，无论是面对人生，走向自我还是记录世界，都记得要诚实，要勇敢。

Stories Behind the Stories系列的第二场座谈，请来了《阿萨姆的社会观察》Podcast频道的制作兼主播林蕙颖，和大家分享她从平面媒体记者到成为Podcaster的历程。

自2008年成为记者，蕙颖在每天赶稿赶场的日常中，经历了风起云涌的Bersih年代，举世震惊的MH370事件，也见证国家第一次政党轮替。后来离职升学，毕业再回国，换了职业跑道，却开始用业余时间录起了Podcast。她说，会开始做自媒体，是想要看看马来西亚的分众时代是不是真的来了？如果传统媒体不能赚钱，那么自媒体是不是就能赚钱？

于是，《阿萨姆的社会观察》从2022年启播，至今从未间断，节目已累积上百集，内容以介绍社会学相关的思想和书本为主，也分析社会议题、国家政策、学术活动和田野观察等，偶尔还会请朋友上节目聊彼此关心的公共课题。

经营自媒体的好处是内容主题与发布时间完全由自己掌控，然而正因如此，要持续有产出，就更考验个人的坚持和纪律，少点热情和毅力都不行。大概是蕙颖体内的记者+研究者魂始终还在燃烧的缘故吧，她说自己也是在借着做节目来多读点书，可见个人兴趣，再加一点分享欲，也是经营自媒体很重要的推动力。

蕙颖也表示，“Podcast是个难以预料的世界”，特别在本地中文圈，未来还有很多可能性。尽管还是会受限于平台和演算法，但更重要还是要了解自己的节目特性，找到对的观众，和他们建立连结，达到自己想要的目标。

蕙颖当天也和同学分享了国内外Podcast世界的趋势和观察。虽然大多数同学目前都还不太听Podcast，但都被她的热情感染，引发好奇，会后的交流与互动热烈。但愿本地能有越来越多元的声音媒体，也希望阿萨姆能继续常做常有，业配多多，予人知识也乐在其中。🙌🏼

In second session of the “Stories Behind the Stories” series, we invited Lim Hui Ying, producer and host of the "Asam Social Observation" podcast, to share her journey from print journalist to podcaster.

Since becoming a journalist in 2008, Hui Ying has navigated the fast-paced routine of deadlines and field reporting through major moments such as the Bersih movements, the MH370 incident, and Malaysia’s first change of government. She later left journalism to further her studies and eventually changed her career path upon returning to Malaysia. However she began producing podcasts in her spare time because she wanted to explore whether Malaysia had entered an era of niche audiences, and whether self-media could succeed financially where traditional media struggles.

Asam Social Observation was launched in 2022 and has since run consistently with over 130 episodes to date. The podcast mainly introduces sociological ideas and books, while also discussing social issues, public policies, academic activities, and field observations. Occasionally, she also invites friends to discuss public issues they care about.

Running self-media enables one to have full control over what content to produce and when to publish. However, sustaining output requires strong discipline and persistence. While Hui Ying noted that producing podcasts push her to read more, perhaps the journalist-researcher inside her, her long-term passion and the desire to share, are also the key forces that keep her going.

“Podcasting is an unpredictable world,” especially within the local Chinese-language sphere. She believes that there is still a lot of potential despite the platforms and algorithmic limitations. What’s more important for the creators is to understand their own channels’ uniqueness, find the right audiences, and build meaningful connections with supportive communities.

A big thank you to Hui Ying for also sharing her insights on local and global podcasting trends that day. Although many students were not regular podcast listeners, her enthusiasm sparked their curiosity and led to a lively discussion afterwards. Hopefully more diverse local audio media will emerge, and may Asam Social Observation continue to grow, sustain itself, and share knowledge in its own unique way.

在刚结束的二月份短学期Topics in Media and Communication 课，有个Stories Behind the Stories的小主题，邀请了四位讲者来和同学分享自身的媒体经历与心得。

第一场“新闻记者在做什么？”，请来了KiniTV的制作人Vivian Yap来分享自己在独立媒体的经历。那天下午Vivian从遥远的隆市塞车过来，讲座结束后又匆忙赶回公司报新闻，但在两小时的分享中，她还是精神奕奕地跟大家说了好多故事。

新闻记者究竟是做什么的？一开始上工不久就被派去追踪时任首相纳吉的动向，半夜开直播竟然有几千人一起观看，还有人留言说要送外卖给记者；逛街到一半，会接到上司电话要立刻去追突发事件的最新进展；在国会除了跟例常辩论和发布会内容，还要针对特定事件追着政治人物跑要各种回应。“你永远不知道会去到哪里工作”，她说，很多时候都是临场发挥，边学边做，和团队相互backup。

从Daily News、Breaking News 到 Investigative journalism，Vivian都参与过，也制作过聊天节目，邀请不同立场的人来交流/交锋。她认为，能让人快速掌握社会动态的日常新闻固然重要，但深入挖掘和长期追踪特定课题更为关键，否则大家就无法进一步了解事件或现象的全貌。记者除了要和很多人聊天，听不同的声音与立场以外，也要小心平衡，并且清楚自己想要讲什么，如何叙事，让大众明白其中的复杂性，而不掉入非黑即白的漩涡，简单归因或二元对立。

在这个变化快速又难以预测的时代，新闻媒体要如何持续产出重要的内容，同时还要想办法活着？Vivian分享了KinTV正在做的一些改变和尝试，但这问题，也许需要大家一起来寻思。

“回到根本，最重要的还是Public Interest。” 感谢Vivian的真诚分享和反思，让同学们对“媒体人”有了更立体的认识。也希望她能继续在这条充满挑战又刺激的媒体路上发挥所长！

In the recently concluded February short semester, four speakers were invited to share their media experiences and insights with students who took Topics in Media and Communication course, under the theme “Stories Behind the Stories”.

Vivian Yap was our first speaker, sharing her experiences as both a journalist and a producer at KiniTV. That afternoon, she travelled through heavy traffic from Kuala Lumpur and after the talk, rushed back to the office to report the news. Yet during the two-hour session, she remained energetic and shared many vivid stories.

So what exactly does a journalist do? Not long after starting her job, she was assigned to wait outside the then PM’s house for updates in the middle of the night. She used to receive calls while at a shipping mall, asking her to immediately follow up on breaking news. In addition to covering routine debates and press conferences, she would have to chase down politicians for responses on specific issues. “You never know where you will end up working,” she said, noting that much of the job requires improvisation and learning on the go.

From daily news to breaking news to investigative journalism, Vivian has worked across different forms of reporting. She has also produced talk shows that bring together people on with differing viewpoints for dialogue or debate. While daily news helps the public to quickly grasp current affairs, she believes in-depth investigation and long-term coverage are more crucial for the understanding of the bigger picture. Journalists must engage diverse perspectives, maintain balance, and be clear in how they frame their stories, so that the public can appreciate the complexity rather than falling into simplistic, black-and-white or binary thinking.

In this fast-changing and unpredictable era, how can news media continue producing meaningful content while also finding ways to survive? Vivian shared some of the changes and experiments KiniTV is currently undertaking, but perhaps this is a question that requires collective reflection.

“At the end of the day, the most important thing is still the public interest.”

Thanks to Vivian for her sincere sharing and reflections, and hopefully she will continue to thrive on this challenging yet exciting path in media!
