New Caledonia media guide
- Published
There is little politically neutral media in New Caledonia and outlets tend to favour one political grouping or another.
There are no particular rights or laws to protect journalists from political pressure or other hazards of the industry, says New Zealand's Pacific Media Centre.
Media publications rely on the goodwill of their owners to maintain press freedom.
TV and radio services are provided by the French public overseas broadcaster, RFO. There are a handful of private radio stations.
There were 237,800 internet users by July 2022, comprising 82% of the population (Internetworldstats.com).
