The Press Council (Australia)

The Press Council (Australia) is an independent organization that oversees and promotes ethical standards in the Australian media industry. It reviews complaints from the public about problematic journalism, such as inaccuracies, unfair treatment, or invasion of privacy. The Council encourages responsible reporting and helps maintain public trust in news outlets. While it cannot impose penalties, it offers a forum for resolving disputes and guiding media practices, supporting accountability without government oversight. Its goal is to uphold integrity and professionalism in Australian journalism.
