Pacific Media

Abstract

Pacific media in Aotearoa New Zealand are in a moment of transition, shaped by two key trends. Like all media, they are grappling with the need to reinvent themselves as multimedia outlets in a digital age. In addition, they are grappling with significant intergenerational change within their target Pacific communities, which are morphing from older Pacific language-speaking migrant populations into younger, English-speaking populations of New Zealand-born Pasifika.
