Among other significant issues up for discussion during #MMFF2019, its an honour to facilitate such a panel discussion - ‘Women in Melanesian Media’. Thanks @kathymcleish1 from @WIM_Aus for joining us today.

Great to have breakfast with the thoroughly engaged delegates from the Micronesia conference .. albeit on a hazy Brisbane morning! #MMFF2019 @GoogleNewsInit @theburgerman

In Solomon Islands Freedom of press is usually respected. While politicians & elites sometimes use legal and extralegal means to intimidate journalists, such incidents have been relatively rare in recent years. https://t.co/v3N7VLM2nM thumbs up 🇸🇧

Governments in the Pacific don't want journalists to do their jobs properly. It's worse now than it was.
