Nauru has one of the world's most extraordinary media landscapes, serving just 10,000 people on the world's smallest island nation — a single raised coral island of 21 square kilometres in Micronesia. Once one of the world's richest nations per capita due to phosphate mining, Nauru has undergone a dramatic reversal of fortune as its phosphate reserves were exhausted, and now faces both economic challenges and the existential threat of climate change rising sea levels.
Radio Nauru is the national broadcaster serving the entire island. The Nauru Bulletin is the government news publication. RNZ Pacific and ABC Pacific provide the most comprehensive independent coverage. Nauru is also notable for hosting an Australian immigration detention centre — making it subject to significant international media attention. The Nauru NOC covers national Olympic sports.
