I think rather strange that local media in PNG was one article in PNG National for the Kimbe accident, no apparent coverage for the Air Tractor accident, and no media coverage for a national pilot and engineer when the BK117 went down. Is there an arrangement where these are not reported?
I have noticed a trend in recent years where PNG media report lots of "grass roots" news from PNG but less and less of what might be considered PNG news with international connections, Surprisingly they also seem to report drivel regarding Hollywood actors with no real "news" value.
To me there is almost a revisionist attitude to much of the pre-independence hsitory, with the result that many events (and the people that contributed to them) are ignored, despite the fact that these events and people shaped PNG.
