Sina said BBC Media Action will continue to support media organisation and journalists in the Solomon Islands through trainings.
Speaking on behalf of the participants, is former media officer of Western Province, now a freelance journalist, Brian Beti who describes the training as “crucial” for media organisation and journalists in Western Province.
He said Gizo-based media organisations contribute to daily news content nationwide thus, such training is welcoming.
Beti adds that Media organisations in Western Province not only need training but also equipment to perfect their daily operation.
Another participant, Uluta Gina from Solomon Star acknowledges the training saying that bringing the training to the province is one way of improving media outreach in the country.
He said provincial based reporters always miss other media opportunities which are hosted in Honiara.
“We see lots of training conducted in Honiara that we missed. We also want such trainings to come to us,” Gina said.
