One of the driving forces behind the Pacific's new media freedom group PasiMA will be keynote speaker at the 2010 Pacific Islands Media Association (PIMA) Conference at AUT University.
Kalafi Moala, publisher and chief executive of Tonga's Taimi Media Network, will speak on how PasiMA represents a new media approach for the Pacific - including New Zealand.
"We want to build a relationship with NZ's Pacific media, not necessarily for what we can offer the NZ Pacific media but for what the NZ Pacific media can offer the region," says Moala.
The PIMA conference will be opened by AUT's Professor of Pacific Studies, Tagaloatele Dr Peggy Fairbairn-Dunlop.
Screenwriting, DIY multimedia and broadcasting standards workshops will be featured at the conference along with a discussion on the new Graduate Diploma in Pacific Journalism and the AUT/PIMA scholarships.
Friday, October 1, 8.15am (registration) until 4.30pm (networking)
