PINA says website glitch not Fiji govt fault
Updated
The Pacific Island News Association says Fiji's military-backed government has not been blocking is website or its wire service, Pacnews.
For the past fortnight, subscribers and members of PINA have not been able to get updates on Pacific news, leading to concerns the wire service was being blocked for having been perceived as publishing negative stories about Fiji's leaders.
PINA and Pacnews are both based in Suva, and while it does not have censors from the police and Ministry of Information in its newsroom, staff have been told what they publish is being watched. They are also expected to embrace what the interim government calls "Journalism of Hope".
That description has been translated as meaning you only use stories which are positive about Fiji's military regime.
Presenter: Campbell Cooney, Pacific correspondent
Speaker: Matai Akuola, PINA's manager
