Papers and proceeedings from the highly successful Media, Investigative Journalism and Technology (MIJT) conference - first of its kind in New Zealand - have now been published by the Pacific Media Centre.
A similar conference is being planned in Sydney on 5/6 August 2011 by the Australian Centre for Independent Journalism (ACIJ).
About 100 journalists, investigators and media academics and NGO advocates attended the conference at AUT University, Auckland, Aotearoa/New Zealand, on 4/5 December 2010. Participants were from Australia, Fiji, India, Papua New Guinea, Nepal, New Zealand, Pakistan, Solomon Islands and Tonga.
Teams of student journalists from the Pacific Media Centre, Pacific Scoop, Unitec and ACIJ's Reportage online magazine reported on the conference.
Funding assistance was provided by the Asia New Zealand Foundation, New Zealand National Commission of Unesco, United States Embassies in Fiji and New Zealand and the AUT Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies.
More peer-reviewed research articles from the conference are being published in the May 2011 edition of Pacific Journalism Review.
An index of PJR full text media research articles is here on the Informit database.
