Pawns of the Pacific
Pago Pago, American Samoa
Pacific Cooperation Foundation (PCF) and the Asia New Zealand Foundation funded Pacific journalists through Stuff to deliver some hard hitting articles about issues facing the Pacific Region. Journalists reported from Samoa, Tonga, Fiji, Cook Islands, Kiribati, Solomon Islands and Papua New Guinea.
The opportunity to contribute to the making of these articles aligns with PCF’s vision to amplify Pacific voices and issues. PCF had no editorial input into the articles.
Pawns of the Pacific is a five part series available on Stuff:
