PNG
Election Reporting Review Workshop Port Moresby Building on two earlier CDI workshops, sixteen PNG journalists came together at a week-long workshop to review media coverage of the 2002 PNG elections and develop strategies for covering future elections. The Election Reporting Review Workshop followed a Public Affairs Reporting Workshop in November 2001 and an Election Reporting Workshop in March 2002. The workshop
provided an opportunity for reporters to share experiences and insights
with a view to developing a set of practical principles that could be
used by PNG journalists covering future elections, with the broader goal
of contributing to the improved governance of Papua New Guinea. |
| The Centre for Democratic Institutions (CDI) is a government-funded body that supports the efforts of new democracies in the Asia-Pacific region to strengthen their political systems. It provides training, technical assistance and peer support for parliamentarians and emerging leaders in Southeast Asia and the South Pacific, with a particular focus on Indonesia, Timor-Leste, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu and Fiji. The Australian Government established CDI in 1998. It is funded primarily by the Australian Agency for International Development (AusAID). One of the primary ways in which CDI works to promote democracy is through strengthening parliamentary governance and political parties. The Centre focusses on parliamentary and political party development, and conducts flagship training courses and policy-relevant research on these subjects. |
