Description

Episode 6: Government secrets, 82 laws, less Press Freedom.
The future of journalism is inextricably linked to national security. The greater the need to protect the secrets of governments, the greater the need to protect press freedom. So what protections do journalists need?
Dr. Rebecca Ananian-Welsh, a University of Queensland School of Law lecturer, researches the impact of national security laws on press freedom. She says there have been 82 anti-terrorism laws legislated in Australia since 9/11. Here we canvas the negative impact of that on the future of journalism and one way to counter it.

The ‘Future of Journalism’ series is designed to canvas opinions from all sides about where journalism is heading, or where it should be heading. There is currently so much pressure on journalism that much of the debate is locked in the present; however, to plan the best outcomes for journalists the Alliance for Journalists’ Freedom believes we need to have a clear vision on what the future looks like.
