Abstract

The chapter delves into the strategic significance of transnational broadcasting in the Indo-Pacific region, highlighting the role of public broadcasters like the BBC and ABC in promoting soft power and independent journalism. It discusses the challenges posed by the expansion of Chinese media, which is seen as a tool for propaganda and information warfare. The authors argue that a strong and independent public media system is crucial for healthy democracies and economic development. The chapter also explores the unique challenges faced by journalists and broadcasters in the region, including censorship, disinformation, and the influence of autocratic governments. Additionally, it examines the importance of transnational broadcasters in providing news and information to countries with limited media freedom and resources.
