The AUT Pacific Media Centre jointly hosted a seminar on conflict reporting with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and New Zealand Red Cross.
The seminar, titled ‘Reporting Wars: The ongoing challenges’, also included a screening of the film Balibo about the killing of six journalists in East Timor in 1975.
The keynote speaker was Tony Maniaty (Australian Centre for Independent Journalism and author of Shooting Balibo), while New Zealand war correspondents Cameron Bennett (TVNZ), Mike McRoberts (TV3) and independent journalist Jon Stephenson also made presentations. The discussions were chaired by AUT's Dr Camille Nakhid from the Pacific Media Centre Advisory Board.
A special edition of Pacific Journalism Review on war reporting was launched by Jean-Luc Metzker, head of the ICRC Delegation in the Pacific, based in Suva, Fiji.
