Taurima to head TVNZ Māori programmes
Another on-screen Māori star has been promoted to management.
Q&A Presenter Shane Taurima has been appointed General Manager of Māori & Pacific Programmes for TVNZ.
Mr Taurima has worked for the channel for 12 years in senior on-air and producer roles, most recently as Executive Producer of Te Karere news.
The move follows Māori Television's promotion of its star presenter, Julian Wilcox, to head its news and current affairs team, with former TV3 reporter Mihingarangi Forbes taking over the fronting of current affairs show Native Affairs.
