The Fijian Media Association held its annual general meeting last night, where new members were elected.
Nemani Delaibatiki of the Fiji Sun is the new president while Elenoa Baselala of the Fiji Times is the vice president.
Stanely Simpson of Business Melanesia remains the general secretary of FMA where as Makareta Komai of PINA is the treasurer.
Newly elected president Delaibatiki says first on his agenda is to up skill the journalists.
“One of the things that personally I would like to see happen is that we can do more training for our local journalist. I notice tonight we’ve got a very young group of journalist and that is a good sign for the future, that is something we can build on, but training is absolutely important.”
Executive members will hold their first meeting tomorrow to look at the outstanding issues.
