Fake Anti-Government Profiles Attack Duavata News

Fake anti-government Facebook profiles have seemingly begun a misinformation campaign about Duavata News, largely targeting its acting editor.

The attacks are based on an article published by OCCRP, which clearly stated that Duavata News (Fiji) was up for sale but that the sale did not go through.

These attacks are not unexpected.

Duavata News remains committed to accurate and balanced reporting, ensuring that all sides of an issue are fairly covered. In a media landscape where many expect loyalty to one political faction or another, Duavata’s neutral stance has made it a target for those who prefer controlled narratives over independent journalism.

Attempts to discredit Duavata only reinforce the importance of a free press in holding power to account.

While false information may spread quickly, the truth remains unchanged—and Duavata News will continue its work undeterred.
