Video Critique on Literary Works

Welcome to Bibliocracy

Literary works are unique ways of communicating ideas, thoughts and beliefs through the use of written pieces. Papua New Guinea (PNG) literature in particular has been an important part of the nation's growth as it helps to preserve the various cultural and religious practices, and simultaneously sheds light on the different issues that impact the lives of its citizens. 

The poem "Welcome to Bibliocracy" was written by a Papua New Guinean poet, Michael Dom, and was published on the 29th of April, 2015 by Roseworthy College, Southern Australia. The poem is a powerful critique of the socio-political landscape in PNG. 

A journal article written by Alfredo Rojas-Calderón with the title, Constructive Journalistic Roles in Environments of Social Complexity and Political Crisis states that journalists use literature pieces as such to understand and report on complex social, economic, and political issues.
