Bei der #RNZ ist man noch etwas unsicher, was der Zugführer da so alles an Bedienelementen in seiner Fahrerkabine hat.

Ein #Steuer gehört jedenfalls nicht dazu. ;)

Auch heißt der Kollege #Lokführer und sein #Arbeitsplatz ist der #Führerstand.

"A kiwi ice cream company is using reject gold kumara that would otherwise be destined for landfill to make gelato. Island Gelato Co. says recent flooding has seen the price of kumara reach record highs... but at the same time mishapen, outsized and over ripe Kumara are being dumped. So it started working with food producers to rescue the root vege and turned it into ice cold gold."

"It's OK to report on the optics of politics, but it shouldn't come at the expense of reporting on substance, and newsrooms need to make sure they're getting the balance right.

If you only listen to one episode of #SuzieFerguson's podcast series about misinformation, make it the final episode. Where they talk about the volunteers being trained to depolarise public debate. TBH I don't know why they didn't open with this:

"... the proposal.. is for the removal of half the academic positions in theatre, also... the disestablishment of the [theatre] program as a standalone entity, and to deprioritize the teaching of our performance and production elements of our courses, in favour of the analysis of theatre works..."

#WillieJackson, Minister of Broadcasting and Media, comments on the Fair Digital News Bargaining Bill, that will force one set of media corporations to pay another set of media corporations, to link to or quote from their stories.

"Any right thinking person or right thinking party would support this, because you don't want to get offside with the media do you..."

This week's Midweek MediaWatch quoted comments made about political polls on the Newsable podcast. David Farrar of polling company Curia - which produces polls for the National party - admitted that poll results released close to an election can influence the election results:

Surely it's unacceptable for any business activity funded by political parties and media organisations to distort election outcomes?

Anyone who's already calling the election for the NatACTs is pushing propaganda, whether they mean to or not. For one thing, the polls are swinging as wildly as a compass needle in the Bermuda Triangle.

In step with this, NewsHub nation mentioned that according a "NZ election study, 30-40% of people haven't made their mind up". Quoted last week on MediaWatch:

Certain forms of theft and violent crime have been running rampant in NZ. In other news...

Shock, horror! When you put 20 rats in a cage with only enough space and food for 10, they'll fight and steal from each other in an attempt to survive. But new research reveals, this is not a consequence of "rat nature", and can't be blamed entirely on the behaviour of a minority of "bad apples" among the group of rats.

I usually ignore crime porn in the media, but I read this article, constructed almost entirely around Patterson's own statement, and it nudged me from "probably a terrible accident" to "seems a bit suss". She really needs to fire the lawyer who drafted it for her.

These same economists got every prediction wrong during our Covid years. I’d rather hear from 12 people who couldn’t afford to feed their kids last week. Stop giving them air time or at least tell us about their previous failed predictions #RNZ

"I remember the Maunganui Bluff and all of the contention around that. Eventually resolution was found and a new relationship was created between the Pākeha and the Māori in that community.

So, we have to use the Treaty claim not just to claw back, but also to build new knowledge about the future."

There are deliberate campaigns of misinformation, espionage, and transnational repression by foreign states targeting #Aotearoa New Zealand, per the NZSIS. A good reminder to check that you're (a) practising good information security and (b) being excellent to each other. #RNZ #news #NZ #discourse

The NZ state funded broadcaster attacked #ukraine on the use of cluster bombs repeatedly during July 10 and 11, not mentioning #russian war-crimes or cluster bombs.
Worse, Russian incendiary phosphorus cluster bombs, and also bombs that leave 20% bomblets unexploded (compared to Ukraine 2%).
RNZ is persecuting the oppressed, supporting the criminal aggressor in an unprovoked war.
