News Corp Executive Chairman Campbell Reid says the ‘Your Right to Know’ campaign is “a pretty big step to take because most media companies can’t agree on what day of the week it is, let alone devote their front pages to a unified message”. The campaign saw Australian newspapers censor their front pages on Monday, while radio and television stations asked the public to question increasing restrictions on the media. The Executive Chairman of News Corp told Sky News "scrutiny must take precedence over secrecy" as media organisations united for greater protections for journalists and whistleblowers. The campaign “has the ability to reach every adult Australian” and is “a good shot to raise awareness because media outlets are not being heard as strongly as we could have been". Mr Reid said the overarching goal was to review and amend the “laws that wrongly criminalise journalism”. Image: News Corp Australia
