Nanise Fifita was the Tonga Broadcasting Commission's general manager before she was controversially sacked in May.
The move came after prime minister 'Akilisi Pohiva called the TBC an enemy of government, after numerous clashes with its staff.
A judicial review into Ms Fifita's sacking was dismissed on a technicality.
Last week, she spoke at the National Dialogue on Democracy in Nuku'alofa on the role of the media in political development.
