Kiribati is a developing island nation consisting in 32 atolls and one raised coral island (Banaba) scattered over some 3.5 million square kilometres in the central Pacific. Nonetheless, there is access to national media throughout the country. There are both state-owned and private newspapers and radio stations. Former President Ieremia Tabai privately owns both a newspaper and a short-range radio station. Locally produced television is in its infancy, and inoperative as of March 2013. The media in Kiribati have consistently been ranked as "free" by Freedom House.〔("Kiribati" ), Freedom House〕 ==Radio== Radio Kiribati, the state radio operating under the Broadcasting and Publications Authority, "is the only station that broadcasts across the country" and is accessible on all islands. It operates on a frequency of 1440 kHz.〔("Radio Kiribati changes mediumwave frequency" ), Pacific Media Watch, March 2011〕 Despite being state-owned, it broadcasts news items critical of the government, and has sometimes been accused of irresponsible reporting by government members.〔("Freedom of the Press - Kiribati (2006)" ), UNHCR〕 Newair FM 101 is a private radio station. It is owned by former President Ieremia Tabai, and "covers only Tarawa", the capital.〔("Legislative Needs Assessment - Kiribati" ), Jon Fraenkel for the United Nations Development Programme, April 2009〕 In addition to these two local stations, "BBC World Service is available around the clock", and Radio Australia broadcasts are also received in the country.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Media in Kiribati」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
