Collection
1977-1992 (gaps)

The first private newspaper in the Solomon Islands after the Kakamora Reporter (PMB Doc 414) was Solomons Toktok, originally published as the Melanesian Nius and the Kiokio Nius (both at PMB Doc 416). It started in 1977 and continued publication until 1992. The Toktok might be described as the Solomons' first tabloid newspaper with its own version of sensationalist reporting (one early headline: 'Sex and Politics in Honiara - a husband's lament'). It came out in competition with the government-owned Solomons News Drum (PMB Doc 415) and was intended to have more popular appeal. (From Ian Frazer, “Solomon Islands Newspapers”, in Pambu, Series.5, No.5, May 1997.)
