Te Ao Hou, June 1963, Page 2

‘Te Ao Hou’ is concerned with everything to do with Maori life—except for politics. It is published only four times a year, and this in itself makes it unsuitable for politics. In any case, ‘Te Ao Hou's’ aim is to cover those aspects of Maori life which tend to be neglected by other publications. Maori politics is, we consider, one of the very few aspects of Maori life which most newspapers and magazines do already treat adequately. As for the suggestion that ‘Te Ao Hou’ invite comments on the worth of individual persons—we don't think there is any magazine or newspaper, anywhere, which would consider doing this. What about the law of libel, for one thing? We would very much like to get more controversial writing into the magazine, but we are dependent on our readers for this. If you object to something you have read in ‘Te Ao Hou’, or if there is something, other than politics, that you feel strongly about, don't just sit there and brood. WRITE to us about it. We'll be very pleased to publish your letter or article.—Ed.
