Claims made but no proper survey done

Claims made but no proper survey done

There is now confirmation that everyone who is commenting on claims that there is widespread self censorship in the country are making comments without any proper surveys conducted with journalists and media outlets.

One of the people who has made these claims is University of the South Pacific’s Discipline Coordinator of Journalism, Senior Lecturer Marc Edge.

He has made comments here and abroad that Fijian journalists are afraid, uncertain and reluctant after the lifting of the Public Emergency Regulation.

He also said that they are not asking probing questions and may not know what to do after the lifting of the PER.

Fijivillage has questioned Edge what is the basis of his claim.
