Indigenous radio and digital media: Tautoko FM’s national and transnational audiences
In this article, we posit that Māori radio as it is structured in Aotearoa/New Zealand is at the same time national, international and transnational. Based on a research project that we carried out with the radio station Tautoko FM, we show that this station caters for national Ngāpuhi audiences, that it engages in international networking with other iwi-based radio stations and that it has invested in transnational connections with diasporic aud…

Decolonising ourselves: Language learning and Māori media
The revitalisation of the Māori language has been a major ground to argue for the establishment of Māori edia. This poses the question of how exactly Māori media can assist people who are learning the language. The current media landscape in Aotearoa/New Zealand provides ample opportunities for language learning through television, radio and online resources. Participants in our interview study narrated how they navigate different media but also …

The Office: Articulations of National Identity in Television Format Adaptation
This article analyses the first series of both the original British and American remake of the sitcom The Office. We discuss how television format adaptations work through articulations of national identity, and suggest that the success of an adaptation may be linked to its ability to reflect and interpret its new context. Despite the global success of the sitcom genre there are clear differences in the situations, characters and humor used by Br…

The Dutch police series is a new TV drama genre in the Netherlands. During the last five years, several broadcasters have aired new domestic police series, leading the sub-genre to gain a stable position in the prime-time television schedules. This paper analyses the major transitions that have led to the prevalence of Dutch police series: the shift from a public to a dual system of broadcasting in the Netherlands; the transition from broadcaster…
