SUVA (Fiji Times / Pacific Media Watch): The directors of Fiji Times Limited have announced changes at the company.

The general manager/publisher Brian O'Flaherty has resigned.

The executive director of Motibhai and acting chairman of Fiji Times Limited, Kirit Patel, said: "We have appointed a general manager/publisher designate. He is Hank Arts, a well-known business and former media figure in Fiji."
