The News Media in the Kingdom of Tonga

Print Media

Other than the news available through foreign newspapers and magazines, the local print news industry is usually weekly papers such as:

• Taimi 'o Tonga
• The Tonga Chronicle (English Edition), Kalonikali Tonga (Tongan Language Edition)
• Tonga Star

Or the monthly papers dominated by church publications:

• Kele'a (Political News paper)
• 'Ofa ki Tonga (Tokaikolo Fellowship publication)
• Taumu'a Lelei (Catholic Diocese)
• Tohi Fanongonongo (Free Wesleyan Church of Tonga publication)

Today, a few monthly magazines continue the tradition of providing more detailed coverage of news articles. Many magazines have been started, and then fallen away, but a few remain and continue to grow
