Elma Maua
Elma Ngatokoa Maua (12 November 1948 – 28 April 2010) was a Cook Islands-born New Zealand journalist and editor. Maua was one of New Zealand's first Pasifika journalists.[1][2]
Maua was born in Rarotonga, Cook Islands in 1948, the youngest of six children. She moved with her family to Wellington, New Zealand, in 1952.
She worked as a journalist for Radio New Zealand and Niu FM.[1] In 1999, Maua briefly returned to the Cook Islands, where she worked in the Prime Minister's office.[1]
In 2010, her deteriorating health forced Maua to retire as the sports editor of Radio New Zealand International.[1] She died on 28 April 2010, in Wellington, New Zealand, aged 61.[1]
