At the heart of a global crisis over news media credibility and trust was Britan’s so-called Hackgate scandal involving the widespread allegations of phone-hacking and corruption against the now defunct Rupert Murdoch tabloid newspaper News Of The World.  This booklet, Dr Robie’s inaugural professorial speech in October 2012, explores media freedom and credibility in the South Pacific.
