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.

Migrar no es solo cambiar de país. También es dejar atrás personas, rutinas, idioma y una versión de uno mismo. En este episodio hablamos del duelo migratorio: ese proceso emocional que muchas veces no sabemos cómo nombrar, pero que aparece en fechas especiales, después de visitar nuestro país o cuando sentimos que no pertenecemos completamente ni aquí ni allá. Nos acompaña Araxi, consejera en salud mental con más de 20 años viviendo en Nueva Zelanda, quien nos ayuda a entender por qué el duelo a veces llega más fuerte después de regresar de casa, por qué sentimos culpa o confusión y cómo podemos atravesarlo de manera más consciente. Una conversación honesta para quienes viven lejos de su país y necesitan ponerle palabras a lo que sienten.
