Since the Fijian Government took control of the country's media, some members of the community are taking it into their own hands to report what is happening, and one of the most popular methods is via a personal blog on the internet. Peter Waqavonovono is Vice president of the Young People's Concerned Network, an organisation which encourages good governance and democracy, and he believes blogs have a role to play in the spread of information and how youth in Fiji are reacting to the recent coup.
