HOSTILE WORLD MEDIA DEBATE DRAWS PACKED HOUSE

AUCKLAND (Cafe Pacific/Pacific Media Watch):
[Excerpt]
A REAL irony in these cynical times about the global "journalism crisis" and the inability of many journalists and ginger groups to seriously tackle the shackling of the media by corporate conglomerates, that AUT University experienced a packed house this week to debate safety for war correspondents. Some 200 people turned up to see the film Balibo and discuss media safety.
It may have been a mere sprinkling of journalists themselves, but the audience was made up of a horde of aspiring journalists, civil society advocates concerned about the state of the Fourth Estate and media educators and social scientists whose job is to be reflective about the media. All were treated to an inspiring evening of debate and insight into the state of the profession and the challenges of an increasingly hostile world for journalists.
* Keynote speaker journalist and educator was Tony Maniaty, who spoke about his East Timor experiences as a survivor in the 1975 invasion by Indonesian troops and author of Shooting Balibo. he has also been invited back as guest speaker for NZ's annual Qantas Media Awards on June 11.
