Tonga Chronicle

[3] There had been problems in the operation of the paper, which was occasionally withdrawn to publish fortnightly, monthly and ceased publication for periods.

In May 2011, Taimi Media Network owner and CEO Kalafi Moala finally decided to cease publication of the paper indefinitely.

On 20 March 2012, as the management contract ended, "the Tonga Chronicle and its assets [were] returned to the government".

Two other government enterprises whose management was outsourced by the Tongan government in 2009, along with the Tonga Chronicle, was the Tonga National Cultural Centre, to Vava'u Member of Parliament 'Etuate Lavulavu; and the Queen Salote Memorial Hall, to Simote Po'uliva'ati, former manager of the International Dateline Hotel.

Previous editors of the newspaper include Paua Manu'atu (Tu'isoso)(USA), Pilimisolo Tamo'ua (Tonga), Muhammad Ali Afu (AUST), Mateaki Heimuli (RIP) then outsource to Taimi Media Network and editors, Kalafi Moala, Josephine Latu-Sanft and Tevita Motulalo.
