Aloha all,
Attached are the final versions of the press release announcing the formation of the new Pacific Media Association (acronym PacMA) and the newly adopted Constitution.
Several people have asked for clarification regarding PacMa's stance on media training in Fiji. That section of the finalised statement reads, " . . . because of our media freedom stance, and due to continuing state control of media, PacMA does not support or endorse media training courses held in Fiji."
There was extensive discussion about regional, gender and industry-sector representation in the new organization. While not specifically addressed in the PacMA constitution, there was full consensus that all of these issues, as well as specifics relating to governance and transparency, are of vital importance, and will be addressed in the Code of Ethics and the By-Laws that will be developed in the coming weeks.
Many thanks to everyone who provided comments and suggestions, and mahalo nui loa as well for your expressions of support and congratulations!
Cheers,
Ana
