Hon KRIS FAAFOI: Thank you, Mr Speaker. COVID-19 and the lockdowns last year highlighted the importance of the role that our media plays in providing up-to-date, independent, and trusted information to the public. We want to ensure that kind of coverage is supported and developed across all community levels, where media operations have often cut back resources to reduce their costs. A viable fourth estate is important for a healthy democracy, and this is why support is required to ensure journalistic capacity across local, regional, and national newsrooms is retained and built.
