Daily Post still in dark

As today marks the deadline for local media companies to ensure that they are ninety percent locally owned, one of Fiji's dailies the Daily Post reveals that they are still in the dark over the future of the company.

Fijivillage spoke with the editor-in-chief of the Daily Post Robert Wolfgramm who revealed that he is still in the dark as he has not been contacted by the publisher and major share holder, Alan Hickling who is currently abroad.

Wolfgramm had earlier informed Fijivillage that all the employees have been sent home until further notice.

It is understood that the Fiji Daily Post last published in April this year.

Meanwhile, last week was the official handover of operations to the new owners of Fiji Times, the Motibhai group of Companies.

Fiji times was previously 100% owned by overseas parent company News Limited in Australia.
