Freedom of the Press Much like the US their rights are protected by the Constitution. But they are not protected when it comes to legal action by certain laws such as press reporting on security forces, prisons, and any sites or institutions deemed unimportant to the national interest. No one owns the press due to section 16 in the bill of rights.
Media Newspaper, magazines, television, telecommunications, internet, books, and radio stations.
Social Media Social media isn’t really portrayed like it is here in the US, I think it’s a nation that is a little behind. On most of their news sites it wasn’t advertised very much, and while researching a lot of things I didn’t find much on social media. It is an up and coming way of communication.
