The Fiji Media Development Authority is now looking into the ownership of the Fijilive news website to ascertain if it is in breach of the Media Decree.
Fijivillage has received confirmation that the registered owner and founder of the website, Yashwant Goundar has been overseas for over a year now and under the Media Decree 2010, it is a mandatory requirement that the owner or owners of any media outlet live in Fiji for at least six months of the year.
Chairman of the Authority, Professor Subramani confirmed to Fijivillage that they are now trying to make enquiries into the ownership issue of the news website and are gathering all necessary information.
Professor Subramani said a meeting is scheduled for this Saturday with media stakeholders where the issue of Fijilive's ownership is also expected to be brought up for discussion.
Senior Management of Fijilive could not be reached for a comment on the matter.
