Welcome to the Pacific Island Media Association web page. It’s May and music month in Aotearoa. Here are some useful music month links: http://www.nzhistory.net.nz/culture/music-month http://www.nzmusic.org.nz/ http://www.nzmusicmonth.co.nz/ http://www.niufm.com http://www.531pi.co.nz/mambo/index.php http://www.amplifier.co.nz/ Listen to New Zealand music and even better - support Pasifika New Zealand music. As part of New Zealand Music month the S³ Pacific Music Awards will take place on the 31st May at the Telstra Clear Pacific Events Centre in Manukau City. Go to the Pacific Music Awards website for more details. The awards will also include the inaugural People's Choice Award, where you can vote for your favourite Pacific artist. You can vote online at: http://www.pacificmusicawards.org.nz/poll.htm Earlier in the month PIMA held its first PIMA Quiz Nite for 2008 at 306 Bar & Brasserie, at 306 Onehunga Mall – a Pacific run business with Nicole and Fili Kupu behind the bar and Bill and Agnes Naufahu in the kitchen. Thanks goes out for the use of the venue!! It was a fun nite had by all and hopefully we’ll see more Pacific media along for our next event. Check back for more details. PIMA has now moved most of our correspondences to the PIMA google group website. You can access the google group through this website through the “PIMA Discussions” button in our menu. If you are not a member of this group, come along and join in - keep up to date with press releases, articles and discussions. Go to - http://groups.google.com/group/pima-nius?hl=en And, press the “join this group” link. Also, if you’ve received an invitation – please validate your email, so you actually receive emails and can post messages to the rest of the group. “NETWORK, COMMUNICATE, EDUCATE” This is our new motto and mission statement whereby we seek to network, educate and communicate amongst Pacific Islands media and those interested in Pacific media. "Stay in touch, keep informed and build positive and affirming networks." Soifua |
