Milestones

Review media regulation, including social media, to consider the introduction of stricter regulations to ensure truthful reporting, accountability and integrity across all platforms, including newspapers, TV and online. The review should also look at how many outlets can be owned by one person.

Media integrity is vital for democracy, yet, we believe trust has eroded due to sensationalism, bias, and falsehoods. There are concerns that the concentration of ownership could reduce diverse voices and that new platforms spread misinformation unchecked. Stricter regulations could restore trust, protect the public from harmful content, and ensure fairness and transparency. A free but accountable media serves the public good and safeguards democracy.
