I remember Carmen talked about this idea of how Māori get pigeon-holed when they speak up for themselves. “We had people above us saying, ‘oh, it’s just a small local thing’. “It was really hard to get our bigger bosses to understand why it was a story,” Latif said. He’s now the chief of staff at the Pacific Media Network and this week joined Rev Frank Ritchie on re_covering – a Media Chaplaincy podcast for RNZ.ĭuring the discussion, which you can find here, Latif discussed how Ihumātao became the most impacting story of his journalism career. It’s the end of a short week so I thought I’d showcase what one of our former Spinoff writers, Justin Latif, has been up to.
