Solomon Islands media guide
- Published
The Solomon Star daily newspaper has been in circulation since 1982
The Solomon Islands Broadcasting Corporation (SIBC) operates a public radio service. A high rate of illiteracy means that radio has a greater reach than the press.
Australia has donated equipment to SIBC and has sponsored programmes aimed at promoting peace. Taiwan has also granted technical aid.
Press freedom is generally respected, says US-based Freedom House.
The ´óÏó´«Ã½ World Service broadcasts in the capital on 105.6 FM.
There were more than 172,000 internet users by July 2022, 24% of the population (Internetworldstats.com).
