A voluntary certification program for journalists has taken a major step forward with a collaboration by The Ethics Centre and the Alliance for Journalists’ Freedom to develop the proposal. This is a major next step following the AJF proposing such a scheme in November last year.  On this World Press Freedom Day, we invite conversation from our peers, journalists, lawyers, politicians and others about developing such a scheme.   Here, Dr Simon Longstaff, Executive Director of The Ethics Centre and Peter Wilkinson, Chair of the AJF, discuss the future of journalism, certification, and the proposed Media Freedom Act.    #journalist #journalism #auspol #abcnews #Nine #News (The #FutureofJournalism interviews are created by the Alliance for Journalists' Freedom in Australia.
