At the request of the Media Council of PNG (MCPNG), a workshop was developed and delivered from 29 November - 2 December 2004 for the Centre for Democratic Institutions by the Melbourne-based Asia Pacific Journalism Centre in order to help PNG journalists report on PNG government activities including the question of corruption. It followed two similar workshops in PNG in 2003 - one in Madang, the other in Port Moresby. Four Solomon Islands journalists joined fourteen PNG colleagues in Port Moresby for a four-day workshop on skills for investigative reporting. The program included exercises on the personal skills needed by journalists engaged in sustained reporting work, such as training in assertiveness and personal communication skills, as well as professional information-gathering skills

	Crawford School of Economics and Government	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.
