PAGO PAGO (RNZI Online/Pacific Media Watch): The members of the media covering the 10th Pacific Arts Festival in American Samoa could be expected to pay a fee.
The festival organizing committee co-chair, Fagafaga Daniel Langkilde, says that for broadcast television accreditation the fee is US$500 per person and $250 per person for print media and radio broadcasters.
Fagafaga said these are only proposed amounts and will require final approval of the executive board.
