Derek Fox

Helen Clark once described Derek Fox as the pre-eminent Māori broadcaster of his generation. He is a journalist and publisher whose work in Māori media spans print, radio and television. Fox's name is synonymous with TVNZ's daily Māori news programme Te Karere; Marae, which he fronted for many years; and Māori Television, which he was instrumental in setting up.

Derek has devoted his life to bringing the voice of Māori across the airwaves, through his career in television, print, radio and Māori media. Gordon Paku
