The global war on journalism

Podcast from ABC Late Night Live


To what extent has the global war on terrorism eroded many of the rights expected in western democratic nations? Peter Greste, arrested in 2013 in Egypt while working for Al Jazeera as a journalist, argues that what happened to him was an extreme and egregious example of what’s happening all over the world. Following the attack on the Twin Towers, he argues that the obsession with terrorism is chipping away at one of the fundamental elements that’s made our democracies working and peaceable.
