The Fiji Times newspaper has withdrawn its
membership of the Pacific Islands News Association, saying it is no
longer appropriate to continue as member.
In a letter to the PINA President Moses Stevens, Fiji Times editor
Netani Rika says they understand that... the organization faces
difficulties in working out how to deal with the situation in Fiji.
However Rika writes that the course of action taken by PINA on the
situation in Fiji is not in the best interest of the Fiji Times.
The Fiji Times writes that PINA's stand does not support the
fundamental principles of the media – which they believe are
fundamental to society.
Rika told FBC News that their withdrawal has nothing do with the
setting up of a new organization, nor are they looking to set up a new
organization.
He says they just feel PINA is not working in their interest.
The Fiji Times faces closure in three months due to foreign ownership
conditions set out in the new Media Decree.
