At a time when “TV is tabloid and channels are ghettoising current affairs”, Māori Television will be covering and challenging New Zealand stories with Māori perspectives in a new, prime-time current affairs show ironically dubbed – NATIVE AFFAIRS.
Covering subjects such as suicide and educational achievement amongst Māori boys, the team is dishing up four field-based video segments a week and one studio-based interview or panel.." www.maoritelevision.com
