Coverage, resources available on media in Fiji

Anyone interested in following developments on the deteriorating media environment in Fiji can access a variety of Web sites providing media coverage with different perspectives than those offered by the mainstream press.

Foreign and local news media in Fiji have come under harsh controls imposed by the political regime since April 10. According to Pacific Media Watch, the regime gagged Radio Australia broadcasting repeater stations in Fiji, imposed censorship and intimidated, detained and deported journalists.

The following Web sites are operated by students and staff of the Pacific Media Centre (PMC) of the Auckland University of Technology (AUT) in New Zealand.
