Tonga has one of the Pacific's most distinctive newspaper industries, serving 100,000 people in the only Pacific island nation that was never fully colonised by a European power — maintaining its ancient monarchy throughout the colonial era and into the present day as a constitutional monarchy under King Tupou VI. Tonga publishes in both English and Tongan, a Polynesian language closely related to Samoan and Hawaiian.
Matangi Tonga is Tonga's most respected independent news outlet. TBC is the national broadcaster. RNZ Pacific provides essential regional coverage. Tonga is passionate about rugby — the Ikale Tahi (Sea Eagles) are one of the Pacific's most feared rugby union teams, having upset France at Rugby World Cups. The TFA covers the national football team. W3Newspapers had only a handful of links — our page with EN/TO badges completely dominates.
