THE ISLAND SUN FRONT PAGE — ISSUE 5668 | WEDNESDAY 5 AUGUST 2026

The group says if the Shiprider model is viewed as an effective mechanism to combat illegal fishing, transnational crime and other maritime challenges, then Solomon Islands should also explore similar partnerships with other friendly nations where it serves the country's national interests.

Provincial Reporters Undergo Fact-Checking Training

Provincial Reporters Undergo Fact-Checking Training ‎ ‎By ULUTAH GINA ‎Solomon Star, Honiara ‎ ‎Provincial reporters from Western, Malaita and Choiseul provinces are currently participating in a five-day fact-checking training workshop aimed at strengthening professional journalism and combating the spread of misinformation. ‎ ‎The workshop has brought together journalists and reporters from the Solomon Star, Island Sun, Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corporation (SIBC), as well as freelance journalists. ‎ ‎Speaking to the Solomon Star on Wednesday, BBC Media Action facilitator Irwin Angiki said the training focuses on equipping journalists with practical fact-checking skills to help them verify information before publication. ‎ ‎He said participants are learning techniques to verify images, videos and other content circulating on social media, as well as methods for checking information relating to people and current events. ‎ ‎"With the rapid advancement of technology and the increasing use of artificial intelligence, journalists are facing new challenges in identifying false or manipulated content," Irwin said. ‎ ‎He explained that the workshop covers ways to detect misinformation, disinformation and other forms of misleading information that journalists encounter in their daily work. ‎ ‎"Fact-checking is not an easy task. It requires specialised skills, the right techniques, right tools and continuous practice to ensure accurate and credible reporting," he said. ‎ ‎BBC Media Action Coordinator Sina Adrian said, the training is designed to strengthen the capacity of provincial journalists by enhancing their ability to verify information and maintain high professional standards in news reporting. ‎ ‎The workshop, hosted by BBC Media Action, began on Tuesday and will conclude on Saturday. It is being held at the MASI Office in Gizo.

Verify and fact check training for province-based reporters underway

BY RODRICK DESURI Auki A one-week training for provincial-based reporters kicked off yesterday at the Media Association of Solomon Islands (MASI) office. The training, supported by BBC Media Action, focuses on verifying and fact-checking information, and aims to equip and expand the knowledge and skills of reporters as the use of social media rises. President of the Media Association of Solomon Islands (MASI), Ofani Eremae, welcomed the reporters and urged them to take this opportunity to learn something new and make the most of the week. He thanked BBC Media Action for their support in making the training possible for the provincial reporters. “I understand that nowadays, we know everything is migrating from physical space to online space, and I urge all of you to make the most of this week and learn as much as you can,” he said. “Also, I want to thank Adrian Sina for his relationship with the BBC that made this training possible for you (provincial), even though similar training was held earlier this year for the Honiara-based reporters.” He added that it’s also a great chance for the provincial-based reporters to ask and share their views and issues faced in the provinces. “On behalf of MASI, I want to extend my acknowledgment to the BBC Media Action for making the training workshop possible,” he said. Editors of Island Sun, Irwin Angiki, and SIBC, Fredrick Kusu, are the trainers. Adrian Sina, BBC MA’s project coordinator facilitates. Seven participants from Western, Choiseul and Malaita provinces represent Island Sun, SIBC, Solomon Star and a freelancer. The current session follows a similar one held in May this year for Honiara-based reporters. The training concludes on Saturday, August 1.
