'Protect our reporters' - radio interview on The Wire
REPORTERS all over the planet die to tell stories. From the Philippines where journalists were massacred in Maguindanao on the southern island of Mindanao in 2009, to Mexico where journalists families are targeted with threats of torture.
The Pacific is a far cry from these situations yet only one Pacific country made it to the top 10 in press freedom for 2014 - New Zealand at ninth.
This is not a one off occasion. In 2013, the situation occurred where New Zealand was also the only Pacific country in the top 10.
Australia was 28th in the 2014 index.
The highest placed Pacific Islands country was Samoa, ranked 40th, closely followed by Papua New Guinea at 44.
