"Les Missions à l’époque contemporaine ont continué de se propager grâce à destechniques éditoriales que les progrès des moyens de communication leur ont procurées. En tout premier lieu, l’imprimerie a permis l’édition de la Bible dans de multiples langues et la multiplication de supp...orts populaires et érudits. Cette suprématie de l’écrit s’est vue concurrencée ensuite par d’autres moyens de communication : radio, télévision, informatique et, aujourd’hui, Internet et réseaux sociaux. Les politiques éditoriales des Missions ont donc changé : il est temps d’en dresser un bilan, sans doute provisoire. Si lessupports du message missionnaire ont été transformés par les techniques, ce message lui-même a évolué et provoqué la mutation des modèles même de la mission. Quelques exemples significatifs de cette mutation sont présentés ici autour de deux axes : l’évolution de l’écrit, et les bouleversements dûs aux nouveaux médias." (dos de couverture)

"This report provides a summary overview of the key learning outcomes from a training workshop on communication, community engagement and accountability (CCEA) held in Port Moresby, Papua New Guinea on 10-13 October 2022. The training was a means to bring together various stakeholders with an intere...st in CCEA issues, share experiences and develop a common understanding of how to best adapt good CCEA practices to the Papua New Guinea context. More importantly, the workshop set the foundation for developing a more consistent, coordinated and sustained approach to strengthening CCEA knowledge, capacities and skills in local, provincial and national organisations. It was also the basis for establishing a network of CCEA supporters and practitioners to promote CCEA in emergency and development programmes and decision-making processes." (Introduction, p.3)

"This article discusses the trial of visual research methods in a socio-economic research and development project with women subsistence farmers and their families in two regions of Papua New Guinea. It reports on the benefits and challenges of three visual research methods (drawing, participatory p...hotography, and picture elicitation) to explore the agricultural practice of women subsistence farmers and their families. The paper discusses the potential of these methods for enhancing community engagement, reducing the power imbalance between researchers and participants, and promoting dialogue and reflection to better understand the needs and practices of subsistence farmers."

"'Informing Citizens: opportunities for media and communications in the Pacific' reports on the findings of a situation analysis and needs assessment (SANA) of the capacity of the media, government and civil society to produce information on good governance in 14 Pacific Island Forum countries. The ...report consists of 17 chapters in the following order: a regional overview chapter, a legislative overview chapter, a chapter on the findings of a news content analysis in the 14 countries, and 14 country chapters organised in alphabetical order, commencing with the Cook Islands. Chapter One, the Regional Overview, details the methodology for SANA, the principles which informed the research, and how the data was complied. The chapter contains an analysis of the major themes and issues that emerged in the 14 country chapters, divided into four sections: legislative environment, media sector, government sector, and civil society sector. It concludes with a list of regional strategies based on the research findings recommended by a SANA Reference Group of key stakeholders. Chapter Two, Freedom of Expression and Freedom of the Media, analyses the constitutional guarantees for freedom of expression, freedom of the media and the right to information in the Pacific Island countries surveyed. It also analyses the degree to which public service broadcasting and media legislation guarantees separation from government in some of the countries surveyed. Section 1, Legislative Environment, in the country chapters provides further detail on the media regulatory environment in each country and complements Chapter Two. Chapter Three, Pacific News Content Analysis, summarises the findings of the news content analysis conducted in the countries surveyed. Its focus is the coverage of news on governance issues. Appendix F contains the breakdown of the regional findings and the findings for each country in alphabetical order. Chapters Four to Seventeen consist of country chapters. Each country chapter summarises the research findings for that country under the four main headings, Legislative Environment, Media Sector, Government Sector, and Civil Society Sector." (p. ix)
