Pacific Scoop

There's a new website out of New Zealand called Pacific Scoop which is very keen to take student work with a Pacific topic or angle.

scoop.co.nz is sort of like New Zealand's equivalent of crikey.com.au. Pacific Scoop is moderated and edited by Associate Professor David Robie and colleagues at the Pacific Media Center at the Auckland University of Technology. A second year UQ journalism student has just had a piece published there about Netani Rika, with a picture by Master of Journalism student, Marie M'Balla-Ndi: http://pacific.scoop.co.nz/2009/08/fiji-times-editor-faces-threats-after-%E2%80%98silence%E2%80%99-speech-at-uq/. David is keen to take more UQ journalism student material too.
