Warlpiri
Media Association is a non-profit community organisation managed
by a locally elected indigenous management committee.
WMA employs both kardiya (non-indigenous) and yapa (indigenous)
staff who work together to create and broadcast local media as well
as media for a broader regional and national audience. Highlights
of our service delivery include:
* The PAW radio network which broadcasts up to eight hours per day
to 11 indigenous communities in central Australia.
* Unique and ground breaking videos such as Bush
Mechanics, Night Patrol and our recent series Mangarri Panu.
WMA is housed in Yuendumu, with our offices in one room of the adult
education centre at Yuendumu and our production spaces in a building
which was given to WMA over 20 years ago. Our location, however
remote or basic, has never prevented us from producing award winning
media or from incorporating new technology into production. We understand
that we are only as good as the people who work for and with us.
