PINA TO CONSIDER MOVING PACNEWS OUT OF FIJI AGAIN
www.radioaustralia.net.au/pacbeat/stories/201005/s2890171.htm
BRISBANE (Radio Australia/Pacific Media Watch): The president of the Pacific Island News Association says it will be reconsidering its decision not to leave Fiji.
PINA, and its wire service Pacnews, are based in Fiji and like all media there, operates under censorship restrictions.
So far it has resisted calls to relocate, but over the past few months the criticism of the news association's manager and president has got louder.
And with new media laws soon to be implemented in Fiji, president Moses Steven has said it is again looking at its position.
That news comes as Steven is being criticised again for a statement released on World Press Freedom Day, which appears to call on Pacific media to forego its watchdog role and instead become a partner with national governments.
Presenter: Pacific correspondent Campbell Cooney
Speakers: president of the Pacific Islands News Association, Moses Steven; Sophie Foster, deputy editor of the Fiji Times; John Woods, publisher of of the Cook Islands News, and vice-president of PINA.
