Fiji's newsrooms continue to operate with daily visits from the military-led government's censors.

They are enforcing the emergency regulations currently in force since the abrogation of the constitution, and encouraging "positive reporting"

One of the censors, Tui Marseu, says her job is to guide editors on how they might angle the story.

"We are looking for statements that would create tension among members of the public. We don't want that to happen, we just want to ensure that everybody is at peace, there's no tension what so ever."

Information officer, Tui Marseu.

The emergency decree under which the censors are operating still has another week to run.
