Maori Radio

[Tracy Jacobs]

Kia ora  Jenny

I haven't had time to delve too deeply into this, but you might like to
check out the following websites and/or contact these government
agencies (apologies if you've already checked these out):

Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Maori / Maori Language Commission
http://www.tetaurawhiri.govt.nz

Te Mangai Paho / Maori Broadcasting Funding Agency
http://www.tmp.govt.nz

Te Puni Kokiri / Ministry of Maori Development
http://www.tpk.govt.nz
Particularly:
http://www.tpk.govt.nz/publications/subject/default.asp#broadcasting
Or their newsletter, Kokiri Paetae:
http://www.tpk.govt.nz/publications/paetae/default.asp

I had a quick look at http://www.maori.org.nz as well, and found a link
to Nga Iwi FM http://www.ngaiwifm.irirangi.net/  which looks like it
runs on-air Maori language lessons.  The Te Mangai Paho site has links
to other iwi radio stations.

Good luck with your research.

E noho ora mai

I am doing research on the effectiveness on radio programs in achieving
the objectives of language revitalization programs. Currently I am
looking for information on the Maori radio stations. If anyone knows of
studies, interviews, reports, government documents, or anything else
which contains information concerning how Maori radio if affecting the
language goals of the Maori community, please let me know.
Thanks,
