Media freedom in Australia is "fragile" and less protected than in New Zealand and several emerging democracies in Asia, an international journalism watchdog has concluded in its annual press freedom index.
"Ultra-concentration of media ownership, combined with growing official pressure, endanger public-interest journalism" in Australia, RSF said. Australia was also beaten out by Bhutan, a constitutional monarchy with an historically oppressive media environment in which political parties were banned until 2007.
A spokesperson for Nine said its journalism was independent of Nine's corporate interests, and this was ensured through a charter of editorial independence.
178-UK 179-USA 180-Australia What happen If an Iranian citizen journalist arrested and jailed without charges in china court approved his extradition to Russia to serve 175 years jail Because he published Russian war crime Backed by DOCUMENTED EVIDENCE?
They all belong to Murdoch, so what can we expect?
While we have the ABC setting the bar so low by deceptively censoring and hiding readers comments that dont happen to align with the left agenda as they do on Facebook then any talk of 'freedom' in the press by the ABC is nothing short of laughable hypocrisy ....
Haw-haw…. “RSF said Australia had one of the highest concentrations of media ownership in the world, with Nine Entertainment and News Corp dominating much of the news media landscape.”
. Wow! Warning signs may also be Liberal ex-PM telling us media moguls toppled him; and Labor ex-PM lobbying for a media ownership Royal Commission. But ABC managing director DAVID ANDERSON blames online abuse & conspiracy theories? Talk about ignoring reality! .
How big was the tax break Morrison gave you, ABC?
ABC gets foreign affairs agenda from ASPI. ASPI is a war machine think tank funded by US military contractors & US govt.
Australian media are a disgrace anyway, they are just fake news government censored propaganda outlets. I mean Dictator Dan is spending hundreds of thousands right now in court to ban independent journo's from his pressers
It is YOUR INDUSTRY! DO MORE. Campaign relentlessly for Press Freedom. Go on STRIKE. If you are not allowed to report on USA War crimes - DON'T report on the USA AT ALL. No Met Gala. No Wanky Press Ball. DO SOMETHING. ANYTHING!!
Isn't it Australian citizen?
Assange is why people are deterred from reporting on government skulduggery,while our parasites encourage us to dob on each other.
Too lazy ,too comfortable, too uneducated , who cares attitude so , no surprises
No thanks to the extremely corrupt ABC. Cabal government propaganda machine. Zero journalism defundtheabc
It is because YOU are accountable to ASIS/ASIO & CIA for narrative control on 'matters of national security' SO u do FucQall on stuff like Assanges case that stundin reported, or the CIA role in 'the dismissal'. SO trust in YOU and government dies. Your own fault.
Thank you. We need more reporting of issues like this before the election. Next, you could do one on Australia's Corruption Perceptions Index score - it has dropped 12 points over the last decade of Coalition government. auspol
And Julian Assange ? Life in prison for exposing US war crimes.
