Press Council targets Chinese newspapers as it looks to broaden its membership base

The Australian Press Council is targeting Chinese community newspapers as part of an initiative to better reflect Australian diversity by broadening the council’s membership.

The chair of the Australian Press Council David Weisbrot pledged to broaden the council’s membership in a speech at the Melbourne Press Club earlier this month.

Weisbrot today told a media conference that the council cannot remain content with only representing mainstream publications and online news sites.
