IPS Arts, Culture and Media

IPS Arts, Culture and Media IPS continues to examine these frameworks and investigate how they are evolving in relation to each other.

About the IPS ACM cluster, and what we do:

The development of arts and culture in Singapore has become an economic as well as a social and political factor in recent times. In addition to dealing with socio-political issues of cultural development and artistic freedom, policy frameworks now have to address arts education, the development of creative industries and the globalisation of Singapore a

rts from economic perspectives as well. In the media world, we are constantly challenged by the breakneck speed at which information technology is developing and how it is redefining the concept of media both from production and consumption perspectives. Old dispensations on media’s role and responsibility are becoming anachronistic in the face of new media such as the Internet and mobile telephony. Their use and impact are creating pressures for a paradigm shift in our policy discourse. Policy makers need a new media literacy to cope with the vagaries of the new communication technologies and the vitality of citizen generated media. Regulators need to reconcile the variances between old media rules and new media rules. Society has to struggle with multiple digital divides between the haves and have-nots. IPS is monitoring and analysing such issues from a policy perspective. The Internet and mobile telephone are not mere media channels but have also become platforms for public service delivery. E-Government is the new paradigm in public administration. Engaging the active citizen would not only call for greater participation by the public but also for greater transparency, accountability and inclusiveness. IPS is exploring this new terrain of e-governance to help enhance public service.
