After recognising a need for a voice for Pacific and Maori people in New Zealand, SPASIFIK was launched in March 2004 by Oceania Media Limited, publishers of SPASIFIK magazine and the SPASIFIKmag.com suite of websites.
Oceania Media has also produced newsletters, magazines and programmes for a number of leading organisations and government departments such as the Samoan Sports Association. It is driven and owned by Innes and Anne Logan, who have an extensive record in media and publishing going back to 1998.
