Friday deadline for applications for Pacific student media programme

Applications for this year’s Pacific media programme close on Friday.

The programme is run by the Pacific Cooperation Foundation and offers New Zealand and Pacific-based journalism/media students the chance to intern with regional news and media organisations in the Pacific region.

Now in its third year, the PCF Media Programme focuses on improving the level and quality of media exposure in the Pacific, with particular interest on economic development, arts and culture.

Selected students will spend two weeks in a newsroom where they will meet reporters and come away with a better understanding of regional issues.

Students who have taken part in the programme in the past have interned with the Pacific Media Network, Māori Television, Pacific Media Centre and Tiki Lounge Productions.

Students who want to apply must provide a CV and cover letter summarising their media experience/interest and any other relevant work they wish to include to support their application.

Sometimes when a business is growing, it needs a little help.

Right now Kaniva News provides a free, politically independent, bilingual news service for readers around the world that is absolutely unique. We are the largest New Zealand-based Tongan news service, and our stories reach Tongans  wherever they are round the world. But as we grow, there are increased demands on Kaniva News for translation into Tongan on our social media accounts and for the costs associated with expansion. We believe it is important for Tongans to have their own voice and for Tongans to preserve their language, customs and heritage. That is something to which we are strongly committed. That’s why we are asking you to consider sponsoring our work and helping to preserve a uniquely Tongan point of view for our readers and listeners.
