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

Dos jóvenes profesionales colombianos llegaron a Nueva Zelanda con un plan claro: trabajar, ahorrar, aprender inglés y ver hasta dónde podían llegar lejos de casa. Dos maletas, un idioma a medias y muchas ganas. Queenstown se volvió su base. Trabajos que no eran los suyos, días largos, una vida migrante que iba tomando forma… hasta que algo pasó. Sin aviso. Y nada volvió a ser igual. Un evento inesperado puso todo patas arriba: planes, ritmo, futuro. Lo que parecía una historia de migración más se convirtió en otra cosa. Este episodio no va de dinero ni de “lograrlo”. Va de cuando todo se desarma y toca aferrarse a lo que uno no pensaba, pero sostiene. Si esta historia te toca, Nelson necesita apoyo para continuar su proceso de recuperación. 👉 https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/nelsons-rehab
