At the request of the Media Council of PNG (MCPNG), the Asia Pacific Journalism Centre (APJC), supported by CDI, designed and delivered two workshops for media practitioners in Port Moresby and Madang. The workshops focused on strengthening the skills of PNG journalists in attacking corruption and promoting good governance in their country. These workshops combined training in assertiveness and other personal communication skills with the techniques of investigative reporting. This initiative compliments three other PNG governance related media workshops supported by CDI and designed and delivered by John Wallace.

The training team comprised John Wallace, Program Director of APJC, Dr Steve Tanner of the School of Media, Communication and Culture at Murdoch University and Robyn Wallace, an educational management consultant specialising in affirmative action and mentoring programs.

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.
