MIL OSI Analysis – Source: A Pacific Media Watch report by Alistar Kata. – Pacific nuclear struggle didn’t finish with end to tests – new wave activism
AN innovative community publisher has teamed up with Café Pacific and the Pacific Media Centre to launch a dynamic microsite to honour the courage and commitment of the Rainbow Warrior nuclear-free campaigners.
And to inspire activism for the environmental causes still to be won – like seriously addressing climate change before it’s too late.
Or continuing the struggle for the Rongelap, Tahitian and other islanders whose lives have been ravaged by the legacy of nuclear testing.
Little Island Press, which specialises in Pacific projects, has teamed up with author David Robie and the centre to collaborate with journalism and television students.
The digital microsite – “Eyes of Fire: 30 Years On” – has gone live this week. Over the next few weeks some 13 news stories and five full studio interviews will be rolled out on the website or on the PMC’s YouTube channel.
The campaign will run until the 30th anniversary of the bombing of the Rainbow Warrior on 10 July 1985 and climax with publication of the new edition of Eyes of Fire.
France stopped nuclear testing in 1996 in response to the determined and persistent campaigns by Greenpeace activists and many others.
The enthusiasm and quality of work by the young students has been “awesome”, say the lecturers.
Eventually, the Rainbow Warrior microsite is expected to become a resource for education.
