The Commonwealth and the media

The Commonwealth has been slow to promote freedom of expression and the independence of the journalist. The record of individual Commonwealth countries has been mixed. Some have relatively free media, others have restrictions reminiscent of colonial days, in others still the greatest threat comes from self‐censorship. Civil society organisations have sought to provide training and support for journalists. But much more could be done by governments themselves
