Drawing on archival research and interviews in the UK, the Vatican, Australia, PNG and Fiji, the book\u00a0looks at how\u00a0three newspapers covered some of the most significant stories in PNG\u2019s history.\u00a0 Informed by the author\u2019s experience of growing up in PNG and working as a journalist, trainer and academic in the Pacific, the book also sets the PNG experience against the wider picture in Melanesia.<br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.unitec.ac.nz\/epress\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/Press-Politics-and-People-in-Papua-New-Guinea-1950_1975-by-Philip-Cass.pdf\" target=\"_blank\"><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\">Click here to read the book<\/span><\/a><\/span><br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/unitec.researchbank.ac.nz\/browse?authority=48117&amp;type=author\" target=\"_blank\">Click here to view other work by Philip Cass<\/a><\/p>\n<p>For more information on <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unitec.ac.nz\/about-us\/contact-us\/staff-directory\/philip-cass\">the author<\/a> visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.unitec.ac.nz\/epress\/index.php\/news\/\"><em>Interviews with the Author<\/em><\/a> on the News blog<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press, Politics and the People in Papua New Guinea explores the changing function of the press in PNG from the post-war Australian return to the coming of independence in 1975.\u00a0 Inspired by Hank Nelson\u2019s pioneering study of the PNG press,&#8230; <a class=\"more-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.unitec.ac.nz\/epress\/index.php\/press-politics-and-people-in-papua-new-guinea-1950-1975\/\">Continue Reading &rarr;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":1191,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[13,26,3],"tags":[38,200,45,44,47,40,43,39,42,46,41],"class_list":["post-1192","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books","category-featured-publications","category-publications","tag-book","tag-books","tag-media","tag-melanesians","tag-newspapers","tag-papua-new-guinea","tag-people","tag-png","tag-politics","tag-post-war-australia","tag-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unitec.ac.nz\/epress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1192","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unitec.ac.nz\/epress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unitec.ac.nz\/epress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unitec.ac.nz\/epress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/8"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unitec.ac.nz\/epress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1192"}],"version-history":[{"count":8,"href":"https:\/\/www.unitec.ac.nz\/epress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1192\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1645,"href":"https:\/\/www.unitec.ac.nz\/epress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1192\/revisions\/1645"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unitec.ac.nz\/epress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/1191"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.unitec.ac.nz\/epress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unitec.ac.nz\/epress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1192"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.unitec.ac.nz\/epress\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
