THE Fiji Human Rights Commission has released a report on its findings on media independence.
Media officer Erica Lee confirmed last night that the report was released yesterday.
The inquiry was carried out by Doctor James Anthony last year.
He conducted the inquiry in consultation with individuals, political parties, Government Ministers, NGOs, members of the judiciary, church leaders, trade unionists and some members of the media.
Fiji Times Editor-in-Chief Netani Rika said the report was disturbing for a number of reasons which the company will respond to today.
"Although it is safe to say that it appears to be malicious, full of conjecture and untruths written by a person who had obviously formulated an opinion before arriving in the country," he said.
