Information policy is an important aspect which determines the information and communication direction of a nation. But, information policy is a complex entity that embraces many complicated issues. Though various information policies models have been introduced,but each model seems to emphasises only on particular aspects varied in its range. Issues that become the core and basis to the development of information policy are also divergent in nature. This paper analyses the data collected from interviews involving 4 experts or prominent figures who have devoted much of their time to information affairs and information policy in Malaysia. Such a technique is adopted to supplement document content analysis technique which was carried out in a larger study. However, the results of the former technique is not reported in this paper. Interview technique is adopted as it is able to yield unexpected data which could not be obtained from the first technique.
