Media
Research in the Pacific has shown the impact of media reporting on corruption, despite considerable constraints, such as government or local elite ownership, government control or censorship; small reader populations, limited access to internet, intimidation of journalists, low remuneration and high turnover of staff, and low levels of reporter competence which contributes to a lack of in-depth reporting. The Pacific Centre is keen to work with the media to promote activities directed towards promoting better governance.
