This special edition of Pacific Journalism Review publishes a selection of the papers presented at the Public Right to Know (PR2K) Conference in Sydney in October 2003. The annual PR2K conferences are a project of the Australian Centre for Independent Journalism (ACIJ) at the University of Technology, Sydney.
The PR2K project aims to explore issues with respect to the various rights associated with the Public Right to Know, including freedoms of the press, expression and assembly, and rights to privacy and information. The selection of papers presented in this edition examine issues involving media regulation in the South Pacific, the clash between indigenous land rights and freedom of the press, and contemporary contests in the public right to know about science.
Other commentaries from PR2K explore issues in media representation and communication raised by the ravages of international conflict, and their resonance on national public debates.
