Solomon Star

The Solomon Star is a Solomon Islands daily, English language[1] newspaper, launched on 25 May 1982. It is produced by the Solomon Star Company, whose owner, publisher and director was Father John Lamani, who served until his death in 2012.[2][3] Lamani was also one of the paper's co-founders.[1] The newspaper's editor, as of 2004, is Ofani Eremae.[4] In 2023, the Organized Crime and Corruption Reporting Project reported that the Solomon Star received almost $US140,000 from the Chinese government in return for pledges to "promote the truth about China's generosity and its true intentions."[5]
