World
Association for Christian Communication (WACC) is the
organisation that aims to meet these needs through communication.
It's composed of corporate and personal members who wish
to give high priority to Christian values in the world's
communication and development needs. Its Pacific arm, the Pacific Regional Association,
maintains a Secretariat in Suva,
Fiji. Through
this regional office, regional affairs are run on a voluntary
basis, under the leadership of its Executive Committee.
The current Committee is composed of members from Tonga,
Fiji, Niue, Papua New Guinea and Maohi Nui.
Restore
media freedom in Fiji
In
the face of the worsening situation in Fiji, where media
are being censored and journalists deported, WACC expresses
solidarity with the island nation’s people and especially
with WACC members.
Fiji’s military government declared a 30-day state
of emergency on 10 April under which local news reports
critical of the government were banned and international
media coverage subjected to censorship.

Commemorate World Press Freedom Day
To
commemorate World Press Freedom Day, 3 May 2009 , the World
Association for Christian Communication (WACC) recognizes
– along with many others – that freedom of the
press underlies democracy and enhances freedom of expression.
The capacity of the ‘fourth estate’ to hold
governments and public institutions accountable, to inform
and alert the world’s people is indispensible.
