The Pacific Media Centre students, staff and journalists gathered at Auckland University of Technology this week and debated reset strategies for the future in a “rollercoaster” symposium.<\/p>\n

They also farewelled the founding centre director, Professor David Robie, who is departing after 18 years at AUT in a surprise announcement. He wishes to concentrate on his journalism, book, research and innovative projects.<\/p>\n

Centre volunteer photographer and publications designer Del Abcede<\/strong>, who is also leaving, captured these images on the day. The programme featured a group of West Papuan postgraduate students from Auckland and Waikato who gave a cultural performance.<\/p>\n

Master of ceremonies was Tagata Pasifika<\/em> reporter and presenter John Pulu.<\/p>\n
