As World Press Freedom Day is marked, it gives us a convenient moment to ask what is the state of that freedom in Australia?

In 2014, Australian journalist Peter Greste was given a seven-year jail sentence for allegations of 'airing false news' as a reporter for al-Jazeera in Egypt.

His story captured the attention of the nation and became a living reminder of the importance of press freedom.

But things haven't substantially improved in the years since. 

Featured: Prof. Peter Greste (Professor of Journalism at Macquarie University, former foreign correspondent for BBC, al-Jazeera, Reuters), Claire Stuchbery (LINA CEO)

Presenter - Noah Secomb
