A Māori programme is one that makes a conscious effort to reveal something of the past, present or future Māori world. For authenticity, at least two of the three key roles of producer, director and writer/researcher must be Māori.
Principles
We focus on Māori programmes mainly in English, made for the general audience which includes Māori. We promote the Māori language by encouraging its use on mainstream channels.
Māori Language Programmes
Programmes for Māori audiences, focusing on the use of Te Reo, are funded by a separate Māori broadcasting funding agency Te Māngai Pāho.
Strategic Objectives
- To support the production of quality Māori programmes for a general audience in prime time.
- To support the development of Māori programmes in diverse genres.
- To have good relationships with the Māori broadcasting industry.
- To uphold the mana tangata and mana iwi of relevant funded productions.
