Abstract
Abstract The struggle over public discourse has been a constant of the colonial history of New Caledonia. It attests to the importance of controlling discourse to the maintenance of colonial relations of power and, conversely, to the centrality of this discursive struggle to the decolonisation process. This paper discusses the manner in which the local media in New Caledonia came to be expressive of the political and economic structures of the colony. It also considers the factors behind the emergence of a pro‐independence media. Finally, it explores the possibility of a genuine decolonisation of the mainstream media in a context where struggles over the control of public discourse are once again directly related to struggles over the political future of this French territory.

The Journal of Pacific History is a refereed international journal serving historians, prehistorians, anthropologists and others interested in the study of mankind in the Pacific Islands (including Hawaii and New Guinea), and is concerned generally with political, economic, religious and cultural factors affecting human presence there. It publishes articles, annotated previously unpublished manuscripts, notes on source material and comment on current affairs. It also welcomes articles on other geographical regions, such as Africa and Southeast Asia, or of a theoretical character, where these are concerned with problems of significance in the Pacific.
