Fiji Sun

The "Fiji Sun" is a daily newspaper published in Fiji. Owned by Sun (Fiji) News Limited, it was first published in September 1999. [http://www.fijisun.com.fj/contact_us/about_us.asp] An internet edition is also published.

The Fiji Sun website claims that the paper is wholly owned by Fijian nationals, and employs a total of 92 staff plus some forty sub-contractors.

In March 2008, the newspaper's publisher, Australian citizen Russell Hunter, was deported on the orders of the interim Defence Minister, Ratu Epeli Ganilau, who claimed that Hunter was a threat to "national security." Opponents of the military-backed government, which took power in a coup d'état in 2006, claim that it was a blatant attempt to intimidate the media.
