The FMA team is led by Fiji Live editor Reginald Chandar and includes Sivaniolo Lumelume of FBC, Alipate Narawa of CFL/Fiji Village, Josefa Kotobalavu of Mai TV, Stella Morisio Taoi of Fiji TV, Wati Talebula of the Fiji Sun and Kate Talebula of the Fiji Times who will provide coverage for their respective organisations.
“This is a pioneering partnership to take Fijian journalists to regional and international locations and events we find difficult to cover, and provide coverage from a Fiji perspective for the people of Fiji,” says FMA General Secretary Stanley Simpson.
“We thank US Embassy for the funding to cover accommodation and meals, and national airline Fiji Airways for accepting our proposal to provide return travel tickets that has enabled our journalists to cover this great event celebrating the culture of Pacific peoples.”
