Māori Media Sector – Shift Options
Work on the Māori Media Sector Shift began in 2019, when key sector players including a Māori Media Sector Advisory Panel recognised the need for change. The Māori Media Sector – Shift Options discussion document produced in June 2020, was the next phase of that work.
Read the Māori Media Sector Shift – Shift Options discussion document [PDF, 1MB] or watch the presentation video from the engagement period.
The discussion document pulled together ideas from the sector and Advisory Panel. The document was then the basis of wider engagement right across the Māori media sector in June 2020, as Minister Mahuta resumed discussions with the sector, particularly on the ‘what’ and the ‘how’ of a Māori media sector shift.
The Minister put forward eleven options on how the future could look and encouraged wide discussion on those options. Collectively the options focused on the need for the sector to start working as an ecosystem with reo Māori, tikanga Māori and audiences at the centre. The ideas emphasised quality content and unhindered access to content as being:
- more joined-up
- more collaborative
- better performing
- modernised and future proofed.
The submission period for responses to the Māori media sector - shift options discussion document closed on 26 June 2020.

Background – 2019 the Māori Media Sector Shift
Beyond the now – Te Ao Pāpāho ki Tua
The Māori Media Sector Shift will explore how we can support the way radio, television and online te reo and Māori content programmes will be delivered in the future. The policy review is an opportunity to take a big picture view of the Māori Media Sector and its potential to support the revitalisation of te reo Māori and greater awareness and understanding of Māori stories. It will focus on the Māori Media Sector as a whole and will not assess the performance of individual entities or organisations.
