We studied the items about Maori business in a large representative national sample of newspaper coverage gathered in 2007/8 using content, thematic and discursive analyses. From these data we conclude that mass media newspapers in Aotearoa reproduce hegemonic views through very low levels of coverage and frequent recourse to Pakeha expectations about Maori business. The overall effect is to minimise, marginalise and denigrate important Maori contributions to this vital arena of national life.}, number={2}, journal={Sites: A Journal of Social Anthropology and Cultural Studies}, author={McCreanor, Tim}, year={2011}, month={Oct.}, pages={32–56} }
