SUVA (FT Online/Pacific Media Watch): Journalists now have the opportunity to be better educated and skilled with a new program offered at the Fiji Institute of Technology.
FIT director Dr Ganesh Chand says the institute will now offer a Diploma in Media and Journalism in the next trimester.
The media and journalism course at FIT was started in 2005 by the Fiji Media Council, media organisations in Fiji, Australian government and FIT.
* A University of the South Pacific-based regional journalism programme was founded in 1994 with French government aid and has produced more than 100 degree and diploma graduates for Fiji and the Pacific.
PACIFIC MEDIA WATCH is an independent, non-profit, non-government organisation comprising journalists, lawyers, editors and other media workers, dedicated to examining issues of ethics, accountability, censorship, media freedom and media ownership in the Pacific region. It is now published by the Pacific Media Centre at New Zealand's AUT University. Launched in October 1996, it has links with the Journalism Programme at the University of the South Pacific, Journalism Studies at the University of PNG (UPNG) and the Australian Centre for Independent Journalism (ACIJ), Auckland University of Technology in New Zealand. The website is hosted by the Association of Progressive Communications (APC).
