  • 14. Forgetting PNG? Australian Media Coverage of Papua New Guinea
    MEDIA FREEDOM IN MELANESIA 14. Forgetting PNG? Australian media coverage of Papua New Guinea Abstract: Coverage of Papua New Guinea (PNG) in Australian media has been a source of resentment and dissatisfaction among academic writers and journalists within PNG and in Australia, and PNG activists and politi- cal leaders since the former Territory’s independence in 1975. A survey of Australian media coverage during 2007-11 found there was a low volume of coverage and much of the content was negative. The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) provided an exception by maintaining a Port Moresby correspondent. The present study finds the volume of coverage has increased slightly with indications of more positive approaches in reporting on the country. It contrasts disinterest in PNG among established Australian press and commercial television, with the ongoing contribution of ABC, and the ‘new media’ Guardian Australia making a targeted and well-serviced entry into the field. Keywords: Australian Broadcasting Corporation, coverage, foreign correspondence, Papua New Guinea, political journalism, Radio Australia, The Guardian, The Sydney Morning Herald LEE DUFFIELD Independent researcher, Brisbane Introduction AS Papua New Guinea (PNG) forgotten by Australia after independ- ence in 1975? That is a conclusion which could be drawn from the Wvery limited coverage of the former Territory which occurred in Australian mass media. It was an omission marked by some exasperation, re- sentment and dissatisfaction among academics, journalists and political lead- ers within PNG, noted by non-PNG observers such as those cited here. Thirty years post-independence, the question was addressed in a research collabora- tion based on monitoring and assessment of actual levels of coverage.

RVN‐2 refers to the broadcast license call sign of the station, “2” being the channel number of the frequency. However, RVN‐2 was also the name and reference attributed to the station and the channel for many decades amongst viewers, and up to today, those who experienced RVN‐2 sometimes still refer to the channel as that. RVN‐2 was more than just a television service. Its identity on air and its Kooringal Studio facility became local institutions equivalent to that of a landmark. The station was a major local industry, at one time employing 150 local people in various roles from production to technical to clerical, as well as providing an introduction and training ground for young television employees.
