Television New Zealand in business with Sky, and what it means for viewers; major freedom surveys back NZ - but not other Pacific countries; and a sensitive interview bungled.

Mediawatch's Jeremy Rose interviews Pacific Media Centre's Pacific Media Watch editor Alex Perrottet, co-author of the Pacific Journalism Review Pacific Media Freedom 2011: A status report compiled with PMC director Professor David Robie.

The Cook Islands is featured over its feat in introducing the first freedom of information (FOI) law among Pacific Island nations. (35′19″)
