WATCHDOG WATCH | pasifika

Thinking we were really clever, avaiki news agency set up some of those fancy headline grabbing RSS (really stupid stuff or something like that) feeds.

You know, foster debate in the region, encourage information transformation, make pot loads of money. So far, no one banging down the doors but it does nicely point up how little millions in aid spending have had on local media. The above list, for example, helpfully marked in yellow using latest available technology, like Microsoft Paint.

Anyway, global warming ... doom. Gloom. Looming from the near future for Pacific Islands, breathlessly reported by media. Or at least, foreign media. A rare ray of sunshine, Matangi Tonga reports - visitor numbers from Japan are up! Not that rampant, runaway global tourism is linked to climate change or anything.
