So… Who’s Going to Run Whakaata Māori?

Something for the People

About

The top job at Whakaata Māori is up for grabs, but what will it take to lead our biggest Māori media platform into its next chapter?




We asked Kingi Kiriona, former Te Karere journalist, former Whakaata Māori board member, and deputy chair of Te Māngai Pāho, to break down what it'll take to steer our main Māori media hub forward.




Kingi and our kaiwhakataki talk about what the role demands, the challenges facing Māori media today, and what needs to change for Whakaata Māori to truly thrive.




He aha te ara whakamua mō Whakaata Māori? 👀




Let us know your thoughts in the comments.
