Above the noise: The importance of Australian broadcasting in the Pacific

This submission to the Review of Australian Broadcasting Services in the Asia Pacific, jointly held by the Department of Communications and the Arts and the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade, draws on the Centre’s experiences as researchers and analysts in the Pacific region. The quality of media access in the Pacific, including broadcast services, has substantive impacts on policy discourse, knowledge and development opportunities in the region. The submission draws on our experiences and contributions to the Devpolicy Blog to make a number of recommendations to government on the future of broadcast services and public broadcasting in the Pacific region.
