Pacific Crisis - Journalism Online shut-down
Site run by journalism students shut down for "security reasons".
Suva (Fiji) / Sydney - The Pacific Journalism Online web site at the University of the South Pacific has been closed by the university administration. Vice-chancellor Esekia Solofa said the decision to shut the site, which is run by journalism students, was made for "security reasons"."The recent damage [by supporters of coup leader George Speight] to Fiji Television premises show that because of Pacific Journalism Online, the whole of USP might have been at risk", said Solofa.

The web site, which includes the award-winning newspaper Wansolwara, has provided extensive, critical coverage of the political crisis in Fiji.
As an act of solidarity, alternative web sites of Pacific Journalism Online and Wansolwara have been established at www.journalism.uts.edu.au (thanks to the University of Technology, Sydney, journalism department) and at Lookinglassdesign .
The US mirror site, hosted by Small Islands Developing States Network SIDSnet, still shows all information of the University of the South Pacific site, even the shut-down directories with their recent publications, a lot of pictures and real audio streams.
More information on Fiji crisis and other actual unrest in the South Pacific area is provided by a leading and famous journalist, David Robie.
