Community Access Media Alliance is the national body for the 12 independently-owned Community Access Media stations across Aotearoa. Our vision is for Aotearoa to have a vibrant, diverse, innovative, and sustainable Community Access Media sector valued for its democratic, community, and cultural uniqueness.

For Content-Makers

Wanting to be a broadcaster, radio host, content-creator, programme-maker, show-maker, or podcaster? Our 12 stations can help you make your own media. On-air or online, radio is a simple and inexpensive way to talk to your community-of-interest in any language.

Reach your audience

Whether you’re a government entity, NGO, non-profit, company, or organisation, we can help you tailor your messages to speak directly and authentically to your target audience – in their language.

Support CAMA

Now more than ever, local voices need to be heard. We’re building a more inclusive media landscape — one where everyone has access to create, participate, and thrive. But we can’t do it without you.

Your donation helps the sector keep the mics on:

  • 🎙️ Funders: Invest in inclusion, resilience, and social impact.
  • 📻 Listeners: Back the sector that helps communities create content that reflects your community.
  • 🤝 Businesses: Show your support for diversity, localism, and public good

Your donation can help create a future where media is made by, for, and about the community.

Beyond Barriers: Before We Judge

Radio Southland

We all make judgements, sometimes without even realising it. But have we ever stopped to think about why we judge others, how our assumptions shape the way we treat people, and what we could do differently? In this episode of Beyond Barriers with Jaime, we’re taking a moment to reflect on our own thinking, challenge our assumptions, and explore how we can become more understanding, compassionate, and accepting of others. 🎧 Tune in and take a moment to reflect. This isn’t about pointing fingers at others — it’s about looking inward, questioning our own perspectives, and asking ourselves how we can do better. Because creating a kinder world starts with us.
