PRESS FREEDOM RAFFLE

Press Freedom Day Raffle 



Journos Win Police Checks Victory
Friday, 01 June 2007
The Media Alliance welcomes the Prime Minister’s intervention to prevent journalists being subjected to police checks as a victory for common sense. The Alliance and Press Gallery Committee strongly objected to the proposal, which vested the discretionary power to knock back gallery licence applications with the Department of Parliamentary Services. Such a precedent would have represented a grave erosion of press freedom, said Alliance federal secretary Chris Warren. Read the Alliance release here.
 
No Shield For Sources
Thursday, 24 May 2007

The Alliance welcomes the federal government’s move to introduce uniform shield laws for journalists, but believes the job is only half done without legal protection for their sources.

Alliance Calls for Media Industry Safety Standard
Thursday, 10 May 2007

The Media Alliance has given evidence calling for greater uniform safety training for journalists at the NSW Coroner’s inquest into the deaths of five Australian-based newsmen at Balibo, East Timor, in 1975. Deputy state coroner Dorelle Pinch is examining the murder of Brian Peters and four of his colleagues during the Indonesian invasion of Balibo. The official line has always been that the five were caught in crossfire, but the inquest has heard evidence the men were deliberately targeted because they were journalists and gunned down as they tried to surrender.
