Māori Television (Māori Broadcast Center in New Zealand) reported that IPYG (International Peace Youth Group) and Rangi Whakaaio (Māori Youth Group) co-hosted a free public workshop on 19th January in Auckland about the influence of media and journalism on the mental health of the youth.
Mr. Kiwi-Scally, Rangi Whakaaio spokeperson, said that Maori youth have mental health issues - including suicide - which must be fixed. Together with IPYG, he wants to inform Māori youth that media and journalism can have a significant impact on their mental health, and also wants to change the way they are used.
