This workshop is part of the Growing Independent Radio Broadcast Journalism in the Pacific Islands project, administered by the East-West Center in partnership with the Institute for War & Peace Reporting.
It was produced in January 2022 in partnership with the University of the South Pacific and the East-West Center and conducted virtually. Our reporters are students at the University of the South Pacific in Suva, Fiji.
We would like to thank our in-kind supporters Honolulu Civil Beat, the Honolulu Star-Advertiser and KUAM in Guam.
