Abstract
This is an edited transcript of a panel discussion at a Paci c pre-conference of the World Journalism Education Congress (WJEC) congress in Auckland in July 2016 that relates to fundamentally crucial issues about development in the region. As the world becomes more intensely interested in what is going on in the Pacific, numerous international treaties have been signed with interest in the Pacific from the European Union, the World Bank, the Asian Development Bank in partnership with the South Paci c Forum as well as massive interest from foreign donors. How these resources are being deployed is actually crucial to the successful development and many news media are trying to trace where the money goes. This is probably one of the biggest challenges, aside from global climate change and depleting fishery resources, facing the Pacific and is a threat to cultural identity. Panel convenor was Fuimaono Tuiasau of Transparency International New Zealand. Panellists were: Dr Shailendra Singh, coordinator of the University of the South Paci c journalism programme, Alexander Rheeney, editor-in-chief of the PNG Post-Courier, and Kala Moala, owner, publisher and editor of Taimi ‘o Tonga. Associate Professor Camille Nakhid, chair of the Pacific Media Centre, summed up.
