The SPINN is committed to providing quality content on a regular basis; this content will come in the form of a variety of publications aimed at keeping the public informed and also aimed at providing all South Pacificans with opportunities to share their views with others. The following publications comprise our repertoire:
- Random Musings - commentaries from our Senior Editors and from Guest Contributors on a variety of issues of regional importance

Our Contributors
We publish most of our content using pseudonyms to keep the focus on the ideas within our publications, rather than the individual who proposes them. The one exception to this is Random Musings, where content submitted by Guest Contributors is published under their name unless they specifically ask to remain anonymous.
If you wish to become a Network Correspondent -that is, to write regularly for SPINN- or submit content as a Guest Contributor, please refer to our contribution guidelines for more information on the kind of content we accept and how to submit your writing.
