Abstract

WELCOME to this double edition of Pacific Journalism Review, the second to appear as an independent publication. Since we last appeared, a world already groaning under the weight of COVID and climate change has had to endure the added burden of Russia’s murderous and totally unjustified attack on Ukraine. Ukraine has found allies all over the world, not least from those concerned that Russian leader Vladimir Putin, who now apparently thinks of himself as a Tsar, has used the war as an excuse to try to crush even further the few remaining free journalists and artists surviving in his mafia fiefdom.
