Australian Press Council ‘disappointed’ at MEAA’s decision to withdraw

The Australia Press Council (APC) has expressed disappointment in the Media Entertainment and Arts Alliance’s (MEAA) announcement that it intends to leave the industry body.

Australia’s union for journalists announced this week that, in the wake of feedback and consultation from members of its Media section, it will give the required four years’ notice to withdraw from the APC.

In a statement, the APC said it is “disappointed” with the MEAA’s decision and “does not agree with all of the observations in the MEAA press release.”
