Pasifika media organisations are no longer restrained by mainstream media initiatives. With a financial stake in New Zealand’s media, their future is in their own hands.

The Pacific Islands Media Association (PIMA) conference at AUT University has focused on the future of Pacific Islands media.

Vanessa Forrest compiled this report on who is responsible for the lack of development and what needs to be done in the future.
