Olly, Peni and others,
Yes, it is a continuing debate - how far does one take things when exploring "the issues."
With ehtics there are other issues,
Are Pacific Islands ethics different to Palagi or Western ethics?
And, in presenting stories to a Western audience, how much gets lost in translation or is transmuted into something else for the sake of presentation?
Are journalists following the correct line of ethics when approaching stories - especially stories dealing with Pacific issues?
Just think of so many of the presentations on Pacific issues in the past - negative, assumptive, generalised, sensationalised, judgmental, or just plain wrong.
There are many issues around this story and others.
It is something we may need to continually keep an eye on.
Don't forget other stories are being produced all the time and need to have just as much scrutiny and debate as this one has generated.
A new website being launched by the Human Rights Commission and the Pacific Cooperation Foundation may add to the debate.
The website link is: http://www.pacificmediaandhumanrights.com/
(though it is currently not online until July - but keep it in mind)
To this, I hope everyone on this forum and others continue to discuss Pacific issues as they pertain to the media.
