Papua New Guinea: Concerns raised at swift review period for media policy

Concerns for media independence and press freedom in Papua New Guinea (PNG) have been raised following the government’s announcement of a swift 12-day period for public review of the country’s draft National Media Development Policy, released on February 5. The International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) is concerned at the policy’s potential to undermine media rights and editorial independence in PNG and urges the government to ensure adequate consultation with the media industry before introducing such legislation.
