A former# stringer correspondent for Radio Australia’s Pacific Beat has created her own television operation from scratch in Solomon Islands, which has never had local television before. Several years ago, the country was close to collapse due to internal ethnic conflict. But as things have stabilised following the intervention by the Regional Assistance Mission, RAMSI, Dorothy Wickham has seized every opportunity.
Australia Network’s Pacific Correspondent#, Sean Dorney, reports that Dorothy Wickham’s One News operation is in the process of gaining the country’s first local television licence.
