REVIEW: The challenge and encounters of journalism

Abstract

Review of Pacific Journalism Review 1(1), edited by David Robie and Tande Temane. Port Moresby: South Pacific Centre for Communication and Development. The challenges and encounters of journalism in the South Pacific have been seasonal, under scrutiny and threats, confrontations, legislation, criticism and praise— all inflicted on the profession. Little is documented to give readers different views about the media's role, and some of the basic characteristics about one of the most tiring and enjoyable tasks, being a journalist.
