THE Government has commended an advisory council for its comprehensive report and insightful observations on the pertinent issues and concerns arising from the emergence of new media.

It will study the recommendations made by the Advisory Council on the Impact of New Media on Society (Aims) and will announce the Government's position in about 1 1/2 months' time.

The council was appointed in April 2007 to study the implications and impact of new media on society and to make recommendations to the Government on how to address the complex social, ethical, legal and regulatory issues arising from new media.
