The ''Niue Star'' is a weekly Niuean newspaper,〔(BBC: Niue: Media )〕 founded in 1993.〔("Michael Jackson joins Samoa Observer" ), ''Samoa Observer'', 16 March 2008〕 It is Niue's only newspaper.〔("Le Programme international pour le développement de la communication de l'UNESCO soutient le journal de Niue" ), UNESCO, 16 July 2002〕〔("L'île de NIUE: présentattion" ), Université de la Nouvelle-Calédonie〕〔("Pacific publishing tough in NZ, say publishers" ), Pacific Media Watch, 9 October 2005〕 Its founder, owner, editor, journalist and photographer is Michael Jackson.〔("Death and crime not major focus for Niue Star newspaper" ), Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 28 September 2008〕 The newspaper is distributed in Niue, New Zealand and Australia,〔("Michael Jackson joins Samoa Observer" ), ''Samoa Observer'', 16 March 2008〕 and has a circulation of 800.〔("Pacific publishing tough in NZ, say publishers" ), Pacific Media Watch, 9 October 2005〕 It is a bilingual newspaper, published both in English and in Niuean.〔("Pacific publishing tough in NZ, say publishers" ), Pacific Media Watch, 9 October 2005〕 The ''Niue Star'' was founded with the assistance of UNESCO, which provided Jackson with equipment including a computer, a digital camera and a printing press. It also provided Jackson with a journalism course. The latter had previously worked as publisher of the now-defunct government newspaper ''Tohi Tala Niue'', but set up the private ''Niue Star'' as his own initiative.〔("Le Programme international pour le développement de la communication de l'UNESCO soutient le journal de Niue" ), UNESCO, 16 July 2002〕 The ''Star'' was originally printed in Alofi, until its main office and printing shop were destroyed by Cyclone Heta in 2004. It then moved to Auckland, and is still printed there today.〔("Michael Jackson joins Samoa Observer" ), ''Samoa Observer'', 16 March 2008〕 According to its editor, Michael Jackson, :''"The ''Niue Star'' is the community newspaper. Now it's mainly information, village happenings, community happenings, family interest stories like hair cuttings and ear piercing. The good thing about it is that all our families in New Zealand and Australia are looking forward for the Niue Star to read how, you know, what goes on back home and to see these colourful photographs. So that's my market."〔("Death and crime not major focus for Niue Star newspaper" ), Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 28 September 2008〕 However, Jackson also reports on political news ("()f the government is, you know, not doing the right thing and the people want to know, then I will insist in reporting it."), and, through the ''Star'', aims to "connect Niueans wherever they are". A large majority of Niueans live outside Niue itself, which, due to continuous emigration, has a population of barely 1000. Most Niuean expatriates live in New Zealand, where the ''Niue Star'' is distributed within the Niuean community.〔("Death and crime not major focus for Niue Star newspaper" ), Australian Broadcasting Corporation, 28 September 2008〕 In addition to its single newspaper, Niue has audiovisual news media, namely Television Niue and Radio Sunshine.〔("Le Programme international pour le développement de la communication de l'UNESCO soutient le journal de Niue" ), UNESCO, 16 July 2002〕 ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Niue Star」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
