AUCKLAND (AUT Online/Pacific Media Watch): Pacific Journalism Review has published its latest edition with a cover theme focused on the indigenous public sphere.

The main article, entitled "Keeping public cyberspace open: Lessons from the Pacific Islands" examines the development of internet public media in the region.

Other articles deal with the "corporate takeover" of the online public sphere, the Maori public sphere, Television New Zealand's State of the Nation programme, journalism and indigenous public spheres, the case for Pacific media reform, challenges for NZ''s Maori Television Service, and literacy and the media in Fiji.

Two "frontline reports" analyse the Aboriginal public sphere, including the Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjara and  Darwin's contested homelands. 

Book reviews feature The Manipulation of Custom: From Uprising to Intervention in the Solomon Islands, Mekim Nius, The Trial of the Cannibal Dog, Ka Whawhai Tonu Matou: Struggle Without End, Black and White and Long Drive Through a Short War: Reporting on the Iraq War.
