Press Freedom Spotlight: Samoa’s media community marked World Press Freedom Day with UNESCO’s Pacific representative warning that press freedom has declined globally and that Samoa’s ranking now sits at 59 amid debate over bans, criminal libel, and political pressure. Courtroom Showdown: A District Court is set to rule on whether it has jurisdiction in a social media defamation case, with one side seeking to quash charges and deliver evidence by video link.
