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. #journalist #auspol #abcnews #Nine (The #FutureofJournalism interviews are created by the Alliance for Journalists' Freedom in Australia)
