 Fiji Times exposes journalists with links to terrorists
The Fiji Times has of late become so reckless as to fully expose itself as a paper employing journalists with clear links to the terrorists who wreaked havoc on the nation.

After the attempted coup of 2 November, the Fiji Times led the charge against the military for the military's assault against the military barrack held by terrorists.

 Media in Fiji (Sharon Rolls in the Fiji Times) -- Pacific Media Watch | Right of Reply   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
We have seen the increase in the number of newspapers and commercial publication, the deregulation of the ‘airwaves’ has increased in the number of radio stations, mostly broadcasting a commercial format, and the advent of television, as well as and numerous other new media.
The agenda set by government for this media environment has certainly enabled media consumers in Fiji to enjoy a very vibrant and commercialised media, which is very different from the concept of public service or community media.
A commercial media environment creates vigorous competition between the various media organisations from ‘breaking news stories to programming content’ and results in ‘ratings hype’, much of this is perceived to be for the benefit of advertisers whose ‘funding’ is required to maintain operations, keep the media organisations commercially viable and profitable for their ownership.
