Video: Coups, Conflicts and Human Rights - David Robie On Media Trends
AUCKLAND (AUT University / Pacific Media Centre / Pacific Media Watch): At the heart of a global crisis over news media credibility and trust has been Britain's so-called Hackgate scandal involving allegations of phone-hacking and corruption against the now defunct Rupert Murdoch tabloid newspaper News of the World.
Major inquiries on
media ethics, professionalism and accountability have been
examining the press in Australia, Britain and NZ over the
past two years.
The role of news media in global South
nations and the declining credibility of some sectors of the
developed world's Fourth Estate also poses challenges for
the future of democracy in the Pacific.
New Zealand author, journalist and media academic Dr David Robie, director of the Pacific Media Centre, explores wide-ranging media issues during his inaugural professorial at AUT University.
The speech was given on 16 October 2012 and this is a new video of the event.
