Murdoch to sell off Fiji newspaper

Events are hotting up in Fiji. Australia's acting high commissioner to the Pacific island nation, Sarah Roberts, must leave tomorrow, having been expelled by the government of dictator Frank Bainimarama.

Meanwhile, I understand that Rupert Murdoch's Australian-based media outfit, News Ltd, is now undertaking the forced sale (or closure) of the country's main newspaper, the Fiji Times, in order to comply with a decree restricting foreign media ownership.
