My guest this week is Abby Hook, Assistant News Editor, journalist and presenter at KMTV where she has been based for the last two years. Abby talks about the demanding nature of journalism and how you have to love it to do it, and we learn that she grew up regularly doing drama. Journalism wasn't the route Abby thought she would originally follow, and she discusses how much she loves learning, and we find out why Abby doesn't want people to recognize her for doing just one thing. We talk about the way we present ourselves and the way others will perceive us, and how one gets their personality across when covering a range of stories, as well as about how Abby uses social media as a timeline. Abby grew up in Surrey, and we learn about her wonderful extended family. We find out about the role that confidence plays in her life and how she originally associated journalism with a profession that people hate. We talk about the role of the audience, and how Abby will be recognized in the street, and how her nan keeps up with her by watching her on TV of an evening. We discuss the viewer that we will imagine speaking to when we are on TV, the things that go wrong, and about the notion of being the person who is the ‘centre of attention', as well as about the role of music and camping growing up, and doing karaoke with her mum which was more nerve-racking than going on TV. Abby talks candidly about the heartbreaking end of a relationship and how much the experience has taught her, what she has learned about herself, the importance of not losing oneself in a relationship, and having a strong sense of self. Then, at the end of the interview, we discuss the concept of ‘it's meant to be', and Abby reveals why she is a forward-looking type of person and why she has a fear of failure.

Malaysia's media has a lengthy history of being silenced, most notably through the employment of repressive laws, printing license control, and media ownership restrictions. While digitalization has allowed for the creation and proliferation of alternative media, the online space still mirrors the offline patriarchal culture either in the gender stereotypical portrayal of women and gender diversity, including women's sexuality or in the portrayal and commodification of the “ideal” woman. Consequently, the integration of social media and journalistic practice has exacerbated harassment, violence, and hate directed at women, particularly when the issues reported are deemed controversial (e.g., child marriage, LGBTQ people's human rights, female genital mutilation, polygamy, dehijabbing). In our first episode, we discuss Malaysian media's coverage of gender inequality issues, the lack of a gender analysis of these issues, the challenges in pushing for and advancing positive representation of gender perspectives in media as well as the next steps to better cultivate a gender diverse media. (Featuring guest speakers: Wathshlah Naidu, Executive Director of Centre for Independent Journalism, and @zurairi, Assistant News Editor for The Malay Mail) **NOTE: Views presented by the speakers are their own personal opinions and do not necessarily represent the views of KRYSS Network, or the organizations or institutions they are affiliated with.
