New section hopes to change Pasifika narratives in media

Pasifika communities make up more than 8 per cent of the New Zealand population, but you wouldn’t know that from looking at most mainstream media. To fill this gaping hole, the New Zealand Herald has just launched a new section, Talanoa, dedicated to these under-represented communities.

Today, NZ Herald Pasifika editor Vaimoana Tapaleao joins Damien to discuss what it will take to shine a light on the stories that matter to Pasifika people.

You can read stories from Talanoa here
