Chairman of the Authority, Professor Subramani confirmed to Fijivillage that they are now trying to make enquiries into the ownership issue of the news website and are gathering all necessary information.
Professor Subramani said a meeting is scheduled for this Saturday with media stakeholders where the issue of Fijilive's ownership is also expected to be brought up for discussion.
