Members of the Fiji Media Industry and stakeholders at the Media Industry Development Act consultations held at the Suvavou House in Suva on March 23, 2023.

Former Fiji Sun’s managing editor training Nemani Delaibatiki has welcomed the move to repeal the Media Industry Development Authority Act.

“It’s a draconian piece of legislation that scares journalists from venturing into investigative journalism,” Mr Delaibatiki said.

“I hope that after it has gone, journalists will get serious about investigative journalism and that their editors and owners of media organisations will provide the resources and show commitment to support the cause."
