Summarization

There is concern that the government of Papua New Guinea (PNG) is attempting to control the mostly free media outlets with a new media policy. Critics of the policy suggest fixing the underlying issue of the quality of media by improving university education. Press freedom organizations have called for an 'urgent rethink' of the policy meant to regulate the media. The policy has the potential to undermine press freedom - including licensing journalists - and is being condemned by anti-corruption groups. Other news in the region includes updates on an NZ pilot held hostage, devastation in New Zealand caused by Cyclone Gabrielle and potential changes in media in Fiji following its elections.
