PAPUA NEW GUINEA -- The Papua New Guinea Post-Courier and The Fiji Times are working on a joint venture to set up a Braille newspaper as a community service. Braille is a system of raised dots representing letters that can be read by the visually impaired. The announcement was made at a recent Pacific Island News Association (PINA) convention. Both newspapers are part of the News Ltd. group headed by Rupert Murdoch. The project will be headed up by Post-Courier publisher Bob Howarth, who has spearheaded similar Braille newspapers in Africa, Asia and Australia. He will work with his predecessor, Tony Yianni, who is now publisher of The Fiji Times in Suva. (PINA Pacific Media Nius 29 Oct 2001)
