The media have been a political football this year - and now some politicians are complaining the media are against them in this election. But hundreds of millions of dollars of public money is spent on media each year - so what do the political parties plan for the media if they're in power?
Sun, 08 Oct 2023 - 10min - 2723 - Mediawatch for 8 October 2023
Media shift blame for misleading tax policy headlines; political parties' policies for the media; Rupert Murdoch steps down and starts up the succession - or does he?
Sun, 08 Oct 2023 - 33min - 2722 - Midweek Mediawatch - a sacred shield soiled
In this week's edition of Midweek Mediawatch, Hayden Donnell talks to Mark Leishman about an outcry over the soiling of the sacred Ranfurly Shield, a rancorous interview with Winston Peters, and media complaining about Christopher Luxon not turning up.
Wed, 04 Oct 2023 - 27min - 2721 - Giving young people an election voice
The TVNZ Young Voters' debate run by Re:News was a rowdy interjection into what had been a relatively subdued election campaign. Its moderator has some ideas on how media organisations can better cater to young people.
Sun, 01 Oct 2023 - 26min - 2720 - Mediawatch for 1 October 2023
The undecided could decide the election; giving youth a voice in the election; ZB's 'straight talking' subscribers' service.
Sun, 01 Oct 2023 - 36min - 2719 - A new paid-platform for news and opinion
A new subscriber service offering "straight talking" reporting and opinion was launched this week by talk radio network Newstalk ZB. Owner NZME has several other services putting content behind a paywall, but this one has a provocative blogger in charge of a line-up of pro-business and right-leaning commentators - some of whom are harsh critics of the news media.
Sun, 01 Oct 2023 - 06min - 2718 - Midweek Mediawatch - The state of debates
Midweek Mediawatch - Colin Peacock talked to Mark Leishman about the ever-growing volume of election campaign coverage - and the latest TV (and off-TV) debates putting party leaders under the spotlight.
Wed, 27 Sep 2023 - 27min - 2717 - Current and future state of Stuff
Three years ago Sinead Boucher took over the country’s biggest publisher of news from Aussie owners who gave it away “like a set of steak knives.” In the absence of big backers and the government backing away from funding journalism, does its future now depend on getting money from Google and Facebook? And does she still have the Stuff staff on board for the future?
Sun, 24 Sep 2023 - 25min - 2716 - Debate stalemates fuel election fatigue
The election campaign went up a gear in the media this week as party leaders lined up on live TV for the first time. But while the public tuned in in numbers, the pundits reckoned the debates failed to fire up the campaign. The same could be said of the other exposure opportunities the media made for the leaders.
Sun, 24 Sep 2023 - 09min - 2715 - Mediawatch for 24 September 2023
Debate statemates add to election frustration; the current and future state of Stuff; some good - but overdue - news for Dunedin.
Sun, 24 Sep 2023 - 39min - 2714 - Midweek Mediawatch: A game of two Chrises
In this week's edition of Midweek Mediawatch, Hayden Donnell talks to Mark Leishman about the first live TV leaders' debate of the election campaign and the sports analogy-filled post-match analysis.
Wed, 20 Sep 2023 - 30min - 2713 - Un-spun numbers don't derail duelling versions of the economy
The Pre-election Economic and Fiscal Update lifted the lid on the nation’s finances this week - and Treasury's projections for the foreseeable future. This dropped some ‘un-spun’ numbers into the election debate - but our media still seized on support-seeking politicians airing irreconcilable opinions about the state of our economy.
Sun, 17 Sep 2023 - 08min - 2712 - Stuff keeps Open AI at arm's length
New Zealand's biggest publisher of news this week joined big global names in blocking Open AI from using its content to power generative artificial intelligence tool Chat GPT. Stuff says it is being harvested without permission for AI products already turning out low-quality results. Mediawatch asks Stuff's if keeping Ai at arm's length is a good move.
Sun, 17 Sep 2023 - 21min - 2711 - Mediawatch for 17 September 2023
Un-spun numbers don't derail duelling versions of the economy; Stuff keeps AI at arm's length; medical school row - and a made-up university.
Sun, 17 Sep 2023 - 39min - 2710 - Midweek Mediawatch - dogs on a plane & sporting flops
Midweek Mediawatch - Colin Peacock talks to Mark Leishman about the coverage of two huge disasters in North Africa; a little local political difficulty in Dunedin - and political party leaders under heavy scrutiny on TV. Also: a much-hyped weekend of sport which didn’t go well for our national teams - and whether pets on planes, trains and buses is really a good idea.
