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.

World Press Freedom Day Special Episode - Interview with Lesley Power, AJF CEO

The AFP raids in 2019 shone a light on press freedom issues in Australia. However, our record more generally for press freedom is relatively lacklustre – last year we were 25th in the world according to Reporters Without Borders. New Zealand was eighth – https://rsf.org/en/index?year=2021 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Press_Freedom_Index

Hence the importance of the Alliance for Journalists’ Freedom (AJF), an organisation that works with governments on initiatives to improve our press freedoms. Its work will hopefully help prevent a repeat of the raids on the ABC studios and Annika Smethurst’s home, in June 2019.

Today is World Press Freedom Day. Here, Lesley Power, the new CEO for the AJF, a media lawyer and formerly general counsel for SBS, talks to the AJF’s chair, Peter Wilkinson about the projects for 2022 aimed at improving press freedoms in Australia.
