| Abstract: | http://pacific.scoop.co.nz/2010/02/pacific-media-watch-group-takes-on-new-challenges-with-grant/ A Pacific media freedom monitoring project that began life campaigning for two journalists and a pro-democracy parliamentarian languishing in a Tongan jail almost 14 years ago has been given a boost by a $15,000 development grant.
Pacific Media Watch, founded by volunteer journalists concerned about a free media in the region, campaigned with a petition to have the “Tongan three” released from jail.
Now the project is run by AUT University’s Pacific Media Centre and it is being revitalised as a digital media freedom and development database.
The Pacific Development and Conservation Trust grant will be used to expand the regional database and community journalism resources which focus on media freedom, environmental issues, human rights and a sustainable press |
