WHAT WILL I BE DOING?
You will work closely with the other newspaper staff and will be substantially involved in the intricate day to day running of a significant English newspaper in Suva. You may cover activities ranging from national news gathering, researching and reporting on important environmental, financial, business, political, domestic and sporting news. You may also have the opportunity to work with a popular Fijian lifestyle magazine reporting on general interest reports, fashion, travel, current affairs and sport. Volunteers may find it useful to bring their own laptop to allow them to easily submit stories to the newspaper or magazine editor they are working with.
You will be encouraged to bring your own creativity and perspective to the articles you contribute to, whilst also constantly learning from professionals working alongside you. You will have the choice of either concentrating on a particular aspect of the newspaper you are interested in or work across many different elements. Wherever your goals lie, whether purely in journalism or even editing, production or advertising, this assignment has something for you. As well as all this, you will discover more about this exotic destination and its people through your work and involvement in the project.
