Cook Islands Newspapers Online

The Cook Islands has one of the Pacific's most unique media landscapes, serving just 17,000 people across 15 islands with a remarkable constitutional arrangement — the Cook Islands is self-governing in free association with New Zealand, with all Cook Islanders holding New Zealand citizenship. This unique relationship means the Cook Islands has one of the most internationally connected media environments in the Pacific, with strong ties to New Zealand media alongside its own national outlets.

Cook Islands News is the primary national newspaper. CI TV and Cook Islands Radio are the national broadcasters. RNZ Pacific and ABC Pacific provide essential regional coverage. The CIFC covers the national football team and the Cook Islands NOC covers Olympic sports.
