The Media Council of Papua New Guinea (MCPNG) was established in 1985 and is a body responsible for the development of media and the regulator of media services in Papua New Guinea (PNG).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Ab out Us )〕 The MCPNG’s purpose is to provide innovative solutions to strengthening the media in PNG. It is also responsible for enhancing the capacity of the media, and acting as a “watch-dog, agenda-setter and gate-keeper”. The MCPNG hopes to create a “free, pluralistic and vibrant media” that contributes to the democratic governance debate in the country.〔 ==Programmes== The MCPNG advances its goals through two programmes – the Media for Development Initiative (MDI) and the Development Communication Initiative (DCI). The MDI is focused on the advancement of media in PNG and the DCI is responsible for engaging civil society in the communication of development information across the country.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title=Programs )〕 AusAID reports that the MDI contributed “to improved stability, governance and service provision by supporting an open and democratic media that delivers quality information services to all areas of PNG.” Working with the National Broadcasting Corporation and the Media Council, the MDI strengthens the capacity and the operations of the media in PNG, particularly in the rural areas.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= Democratic Governance )〕 This approach is based on the principle that an accessible and effective media can: * Increase the voices of the poor and marginalised in public policy * Support civic education, peace-building and promotion of culture * Foster civil society networks * Provide access to development information and complement basic services delivery, for example through agricultural extension radio programs and broadcasts on the availability of health clinics.〔 The MDI is run by Justin Kili, a veteran journalist who has spent time working for the British Broadcasting Corporation. He is known as “the voice of PNG”.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 title= "Voice of Papua New Guinea" Now Speaks for the Ocean )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Media Council of Papua New Guinea」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
