Interview: How the Media Shapes Territory in Asia
About this episode
This episode explores how media narratives shape perceptions of territory and security in Asia.
Traditional security debates focus on maps, borders, naval deployments, and treaties. But increasingly, territory in Asia is also constructed through narratives, media coverage, digital platforms, and public emotion. Journalists are not just observers — they help shape how territory, sovereignty, and security are understood by the public and policymakers. Guest: Dr Lupita Wijaya (Research Fellow at the La Trobe Centre for Global Security and Co-ordinator of the Southeast Asia Maritime Media Visits Project). Recorded 16th March, 2026.
