Interviews with student journalists and lecturers involved in the coup coverage indicate that Wansolwara’s status as a campus-based newspaper has been a strategic benefit in filling some gaps in mainstream media reporting, besides providing students with empowering learning experiences. The case study illustrates the importance of an independent, campus-based newspaper somewhat less restrained by commercial pressures and less exposed to direct state coercion.Eliki DrugunalevuIrene ManaraeAsia Pacific NetworkarticlecensorshipFijiFiji coupsjournalism educationmedia freedompress freedomCommunication.
