From the Publishers:

"Does the media in the Pacific sufficiently cover development issues? What does it do right, where does it go wrong and what does it miss? What are the challenges faced by Pacific Island journalists and how do these challenges influence coverage of everyday issues that impact on the lives of Pacific Island citizens? This book considers these questions in the context of some key developmental issues shaping the region's progress. It contains a collection of research articles and essays by scholars, journalists, educators and other experts working in a range of development areas. The text also looks at the strengths and weaknesses of media coverage and offers recommendations for improvement.
