Did you know that on 1 January each year, National Archives releases a selection of Cabinet records that have reached the open period? We work closely with journalists and an independent Cabinet historian to select records for proactive examination and digitisation, based on the big issues of the time. Ahead of the new year, journalists are granted early access to records under a strict embargo. This allows enough time to prepare content for broadcast and publication from 1 January. While we have a selection of records ready to view today, many more are eligible for access after being examined for sensitivities to ensure they can be released publicly. Learn what’s in this year’s release, read the Cabinet historian’s essay and learn how you can access records: https://bit.ly/3DtaEM5 You can also watch the ABC media briefing here: https://lnkd.in/gU7TVjTY Image: Attorney-General Phillip Ruddock, Prime Minister John Howard, Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson and other members of the NSC meet in the Cabinet Room at Australian Parliament House, 2004.

Authoritarian governments are persecuting press reporters and suppressing journalistic freedom. How do we overcome the challenges of free speech and security crackdowns, and bolster press resilience? Hear from journalists’ experiences in North Korea, Russia, Iran, and China. Register below.
Join us now for “Reporters at Risk: Supporting truth tellers in age of rising authoritarianism” at the Atlantic Council's Global Future Forum. Press freedom and security are under assault amid authoritarian crackdowns on free speech and dissent. From Beijing to Moscow, and Pyongyang to Tehran, journalists are risking their lives to deliver the news and report the truth amid government censorship, harassment, and persecution. The August 1 prisoner swap that freed Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty journalist Alsu Kurmasheva from Russian imprisonment demonstrated the dangers authoritarian regimes pose to journalists and the importance of bolstering press resilience. We are delighted to be joined by Edward Wong, diplomatic correspondent and former Beijing bureau chief of The New York Times; Mikhail Zygar, founding editor in chief of Dozhd (TV Rain) and current nonresident senior fellow with Atlantic Council; Jason Rezaian, a writer for Global Opinions and former Tehran bureau chief for The Washington Post; Jean Lee, co-host of The Lazarus Heist for BBC and former Pyongyang bureau chief for the Associated Press, for a conversation on their firsthand experiences covering China, Russia, Iran, and North Korea. Moderated by Jane Ferguson, author and correspondent for PBS News Hour, the discussion will shed light on the challenges that journalists face reporting on closed societies, discuss ways to help reporters overcome these challenges, and explore the future of the global information landscape. This event is part of the Atlantic Council’s Global Future Forum in New York City. Register here to watch the livestream: https://lnkd.in/eiYktnty.

Public media are often accused of sidelining, or even ’crowding out’, private media in the news market. With numerous online news media now competing for attention and for paying subscribers, this ‘crowding-out’ argument is gaining prominence. 📱 In the 2024 Quality of the Media Yearbook, the fög examined this argument for German- and French-speaking Switzerland using survey data from the Digital News Report 2024 / Reuters Institute for the Study of Journalism. Lead author Linards Udris summarizes the key findings of the study in the video (in German). 🎥 If you want to learn more, you can download the whole study here: https://lnkd.in/gbgT74f5 #QdM24

Trust in government is critical for excellent public services. Max Stier will be discussing public trust next week. Sowing seeds of distrust such as is being done by certain politicians is destructive, especially when those politicians are a main part of the problem. By only complaining about the status quo, especially in ways which spread misinformation and disinformation, politicians are only serving their own interests. We need officials who are working to solve problems. #governance #publicservice #governmentoperations #federalgovernment #stategovernment #localgovernment
The public's trust in the federal government has been in decline for decades and is at near-record lows, according to a national survey conducted by the Partnership for Public Service. This declining trend has serious consequences for the country and for the health of our democracy. I will be joining the National Press Club Journalism Institute on Friday, Feb. 7 for a briefing to cover the state of public trust and the impact of efforts to politicize and reshape the career civil service. Journalists and storytellers play a unique and critical role in shaping the public’s understanding of government actions and policies. It is more important than ever that they understand what the public expects of its government and how these policies might impact civil servants on a local level.

Last week, we introduced you to four European Commissioners and today, we want to focus on four more European Commissioners. Commissioners are, on paper, running the show. Within the EU institutions, the European Commission is the only body that can formally propose legislation, and the final one to approve laws in the making. So it’s worth getting to know them!

Did you know that today marks the anniversary of the Swedish Freedom of the Press Act? 📰 ✍️ On December 2, 1766, Sweden became the first country in the world to write freedom of the press into its constitution. Sweden's 1766 Freedom of the Press Act allows anyone to publish books, journals and newspapers. The public authorities have no right to examine or censor what has been written in advance. With the Act also came the principle of public access to official documents, which gives the Swedish people the right to study public documents, a right which may be exercised when they so wish. In Swedish, we call this 'offentlighetsprincipen.' 🌍Freedom of the press is an important democratic right that can never be taken for granted – regardless of where you are in the world. A copy of the 1766 Swedish Freedom of the Press Act was on display at the Embassy today, as we invited Swedish journalists for a conversation about their current work. #ThisisSweden #MemoryOfTheWorld #PressFreedom
