Media of Vanuatu
The Republic of Vanuatu is an officially trilingual state in the western Pacific, the three national languages being English, French and Bislama. There is a diversity of newspapers, but only one, state-owned television channel. Private radio stations are a recent development; there were reportedly none in 2007.〔("Vanuatu: Freedom of the Press 2007" ), Freedom House〕
==Freedom of the media==
Freedom House in 2007 categorised Vanuatu's media as "free", noting however that "journalists have been censored or intimidated" by members of the police in isolated incidents, leading to apologies by the Police Commissioner.〔
In 2001, Marc Neil-Jones, British-born publisher of the ''Vanuatu Daily Post'', "was unlawfully deported from Vanuatu before being able to publish an article critical of the government". His deportation was subsequently overturned.〔("Vanuatu: Rival media clash in slanging match over radio licence" ), Scoop.co.nz, 5 November 2010〕 In June 2011, Harry Iauko was convicted of aiding and abetting damage to property and aiding and abetting intentional assault, for having led a group of men into the offices of the ''Daily Post'', where they assaulted Neil-Jones for the newspaper's criticism of Iauko, who was at the time Minister for Infrastructure and Public Utilities. Iauko was fined Vt15,000.〔("Iauko pleads guilty, fined Vt15,000 by court" ), ''Vanuatu Daily Post'', 1 July 2011〕 Reporters Without Borders denounced the fine as "risible", saying it was "not commensurate with the gravity of the crime", and that such a small fine for an assault on a journalist risked pushing other journalists to censor themselves rather than criticise politicians.〔("Risible fine for minister who assaulted newspaper publisher" ), Reporters Without Borders, 12 July 2011〕
The Commonwealth of Nations reports in 2013 that "Vanuatu is widely-considered by independent observers as a country with an unfettered freedom of press".〔("Media and Broadcasting in Vanuatu" ), Commonwealth of Nations〕〔("Vanuatu profile: Media" ), BBC, 10 January 2012〕
