Alistar Kata is one of the reporters on TVNZ’s consumer affairs show ‘Fair Go’ –  she says in a recent article in Woman Magazine – ”People have been fighting to see more diversity on our screens and that really made me want to take this role. This is a part of a movement. Mainstream media are embracing the change in their audiences and what people want to see. It’s a huge responsibility when you understand who you are and what community you come from.
“Now the hard work must be done. It’s not about getting hired and being the brown face, it’s about representing well and doing my job to the best of my ability.”

“You know how you play make-believe when you’re a child, well I used to pretend I was a TV presenter or a news reporter but I never in my life thought that’s where I’d be heading to.
“I just didn’t really think about it but when I look back, I always wrote the lead stories in our school magazines so I was probably always destined to be a journalist or a reporter.”
Then there was the fact there weren’t too many Pasifika faces on television when she was growing up.
“I think if I was a little girl, and I’d seen someone like me at the time, I probably would have definitely been inspired,” Stewart says. “In the end, I fell into this by accident, but I would have chased a career in journalism much earlier if I had seen someone that looked like me (on television).”
