Te Māngai Pāho welcomes the announcement of a Māori Media Sector Shift Review and its focus to encourage collaboration and innovation across the Māori media sector, Chair Dr Eruera Tarena said today.
The Government has today announced the Māori Media Sector Shift review which will explore the most effective and efficient way of funding te reo and tikanga Māori content.
“We believe collaboration is more important than competition in the Māori media sector and are committed to working to support a healthy and thriving Māori language, says Dr Tarena.
“We have been reviewing the three news services that we fund and believe that there is a real opportunity to get better value for money through a collaborative approach to Māori news.”
However, now that the Government has announced its Māori Media Sector Shift review Te Māngai Pāho believes it is prudent to defer any final decision to develop an enhanced Māori news service until we can move forward with more certainty upon completion of this review.
