The Cook Islands Administration, as a further move in its plans to im prove liaison with the people of the widely scattered group, plans to commence publication of a monthly journal before the end of the year.
Experimental broadcasts have been taking place with the same object.
It is not known yet whether the pages of the new publication will be open to public correspondence as well as to the official view.
The editing will be undertaken as a part-time job by Mr. Gordon F. Russell, meteorological officer.
In 1953, the Cook Islands Further Education Department commenced
publication of a monthly, entitled, Tumu Korero (This is the News ), which presents in the main facets of Cook Islands history, customs, etc., and has never attempted to be a “news” dispenser.
