 Fijileaks understands that regime lackey and PINA's training manager Matai Akauola (left, above) has been appointed new director of Fiji's Media Industry Development Authority. Meanwhile, Fiji Sun's Dicke Bird (i.e. Leone Cabenatabua) told his readers: "Who is going to be the new director of the country’s Media Industry Development Authority? Dickie Bird last night said the appointment has already been made and the announcement, soon. Dickie Bird said the appointee is a veteran local journalist who has vast experience in print, radio and television." On a separate note, Fijileaks has established that Fiji TV's sports editorr Satish Narayan (left below) was unceremoniously fired on the orders of the self-appointed Prime Minister Frank Bainimarama. It was either Narayan goes, or Fiji TV's CEO Tarun Patel - or Fiji TV lose their license. Obviously, there wasn't much choice in the matter. It's sad considering Narayan's years of loyal service to the company. |
