A recent intensive training program in Papua New Guinea aimed to enhance the skills of both emerging and experienced sports journalists. The program focused on sports commentary techniques and promoting gender equity in sports reporting. Funded by the Australian Government through the PNGAus Partnership, the initiative was implemented by the Australian Broadcasting Corporation’s (ABC) Media Development Initiative. Collaboration with the Women in News and Sport program further emphasized inclusivity within the training. The program sought to build capacity in PNG’s media sector, equipping journalists with tools for improved coverage. Details of the training were published by the Post Courier, but access requires a subscription. The initiative represents ongoing Australian support for media development in Papua New Guinea.
