The Seven (7) MUST follow WEBSITES for Papua New Guinea and Pacific content.

Many people do not have the time to read 15-20 pages articles.
The max one can enjoy is 2 pages, but you want that 2 page content to be good. Below are 7 platforms you should subscribe to or check daily if you're interest in PNG and Pacific economics, policy, social, political, legal etc.
Note: only sites that have independent editors listed here. Personal blogs are not listed because they contain personal views, and are usually not scrutinized by independent editors.

1. Crawford School of Public Policy's Development Policy Blog

This platform, based at ANU, has one of the largest, if not the largest PNG and Pacific content in the world. The articles are usually 2 pages long, and are concise. Their articles frequently feature on Post Courier & The National Newspapers, and other Pacific media outlets. All though it's based at ANU, PNG based researchers and practitioners are frequent contributors.

2. The Lowly Institute's The Interpreter

This site is very much like Development Policy Blog, but has emphasis on Policy related issues. It's based out of Sydney, and one of the leading platforms on Pacific content in the region. Their "Aid Map" tracks all the foreign aid in the Pacific. If you are interested in which foreign countries are spending how much in PNG, in which sectors, etc., Lowly Institute is the best site to visit.

7. ANU DPA In Brief

Note: Papua New Guineans can also publish in these platforms. 

Go to their sites, and look up guidelines for submissions. You will also find email addresses you can submit your articles to. At the end of these articles (except the last one – 7) there are sections for comments.

That is where you give you feedback, for instance, you may not agree with the conclusions because you're working in that filed and author may have gotten it wrong.

There's a lot more happening outside your work cubicle, and the information shared on social media is not verified by or critiqued by someone other than you.

These blogs help in that they are short and relatively more reliable than Facebook and Twitter.
