Tonga ready to host biennial Pacific Media Summit

Tongan, Pacific and international media practitioners are converging in Nuku’alofa Tonga this afternoon for the opening of the 5th Pacific Media Summit.

The biennial meet is scheduled to be opened by Prime Minister ‘Akilisi Pohiva at the Kalofiama Epworth Hall.

The theme for the summit is ‘Empowering the Media for Digital Challenges.”

The future of journalism is being challenged due to new developments like multi-media journalism, fake news and social media.

Discussions will focus on the challenges these pose to Pacific media practitioners.

Other issues will cover reporting gender-based violence and the role of the media in following the work of integrity agencies like the Auditor General’s Office.    

The Pacific Media Summit is organised by the Pacific Islands News Association.
