  • Its All Happening Just When You Thought Things Were Winding Down
    Its All Happening Just when you thought things were winding down for the year and there would be only holiday racing to concentrate on, a couple of recent important announcements have rather re-focussed the mind. First of all, and definitely most importantly, a successor to Edward Rennell has been announced. As I’ve said earlier, Edward leaves a massive pair for shoes to fill, and I know that, for years to come, his legacy will be felt in many different ways. My main concern about his replacement was that it would be someone who didn’t have the same passion and love for harness racing that he undoubtedly possessed. It was with relief then, that Peter Jensen was selected to take the reins, because he is yet another whose passion for our industry is without question. Having known Peter on both a personal and business basis for many years, he will bring skills and experience to the role that will be sorely needed in the difficult times ahead. Having attended a number of meetings he has had with the Trainers & Drivers Greater Canterbury Branch since he took over at Addington, it is clear that he made a favourable impression on some folk in our game who are not easily impressed, with his considered approach and willingness to at least listen to concerns, at the same time making no promises. The other announcement, this time from the Government, was the naming of those to be involved in the Ministerial Advisory Committee. Fearing that this body would be heavily slanted in favour of our sister code, it was pleasing to see that, with the obvious exception of Sir Peter Vela, that doesn’t appear to be the case.

INTRODUCTION 1.1 The Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority (CERA) was established under the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Act 2011 to assist with the Government's response to the devastating Canterbury earthquakes of 2010 and 2011. After five years of operation, CERA was disestablished on 18 April 2016. 1.2 Within CERA, the Implementation/Central City Development Unit (CCDU) set out to drive the rebuild of central Christchurch. The Investment Strategy group sat within that unit and was responsible for retaining, promoting and attracting investment in Christchurch. 1.3 In early 2017, investigative journalist Martin van Beynen published a series of articles on alleged conflicts of interest within CERA and CCDU. Due to the serious allegations raised, the State Services Commissioner appointed me to undertake this Inquiry on his behalf on 7 February 2017 pursuant to sections 23(1) and 25(2) of the State Sector Act 1988.

  • Fairfax/NZME – Response to Questions Arising from the Conference
    1 PUBLIC VERSION NZME AND FAIRFAX RESPONSE TO COMMERCE COMMISSION QUESTIONS ARISING FROM THE CONFERENCE ON 6 AND 7 DECEMBER 2016 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 1. During its recent Conference held on 6 and 7 December 2016, the Commissioners asked the parties to follow up on a number of points. This paper sets out the parties' responses on those questions, and also provides answers to some further follow-up questions that the parties have received since the Conference. 2. The main points that this response covers are as follows: (a) Inefficient duplication of commodity news (external plurality): The Commissioners asked the parties to produce examples of "commodity" news coverage as between the five main media organisations being similar ("digger hits bridge" was provided as an example of where all the major media organisations covered effectively the same point). Reducing that duplication will be efficiency enhancing and will not materially detract from the volume or quality of news coverage. (b) A wide variety of perspectives are covered within each publication (internal plurality): The editors provided the Commission with examples of how each publication covers a wide variety of perspectives, as that is what attracts the greatest audience. This is true both within and across each of the parties' publications. The Commission asked for examples, which are provided in this response, together with additional material about why those incentives do not change post-Merger. (c) Constitutional safeguards on editorial independence: The Commissioners asked about what existing structures protected editorial independence and balance and fairness in reporting. This was asked both in the context of a possible future sale of Fairfax's stake, and in the context of the protections available to those subject to negative reporting seeking fairness and balance.

Both globally and locally, the journalism industry is experiencing unprecedented levels of convergence and financial pressure. Nowhere is it felt more than at a local level. The global trends are toward shrinking local newsrooms, and a re-concentration of reporters out of local papers and toward national or international digital platForms. Census data shows that the number of print journalists [the census does not record a digital journalist category] in New Zealand dropped an enormous 61 percent between 2006 and 2013. Meanwhile, those leFt in journalism face an increasingly dominant PR industry - closely corresponding with the drop in print journalists have been a 56 percent increase in numbers of PR proFessionals, between 2006 and 2013.

  • Christchurch Journalists' Collective Trauma Experience and The
    July 1, 2014 Quake aftermath: Christchurch journalists' collective trauma experience and the implications for their reporting. A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Ph.D in Journalism by Sean Scanlon -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- University of Canterbury Christchurch New Zealand 2014 1 Abstract: On February 22, 2011, Christchurch-based journalists were jolted out of their normal work routine by a large 6.3 magnitude earthquake that killed 185 people, wrecked the city and forced reporters to reappraise their journalism. This study considers how the earthquake affected journalists’ relationship to the community, their use of sources and news selection. A theory of collective trauma is used to explain the changes that journalists made to their reporting practice. Specifically, Christchurch journalists had a greater identification and attachment to their audience post-earthquake. Journalists viewed themselves as part of the earthquake story, which prompted them to view sources differently, use those sources differently and see advocacy as a keystone of their news work after the disaster. This study adds to a growing scholarship about journalists and trauma, but focuses on what the event meant for local reporters’ choice of sources and news selection rather than measuring rates of psychological distress. 2 Acknowledgments I have many people to thank for helping me complete this study. Being a journalist by training and not an academic has made the experience an interesting one, which required the guidance of many more people than I can name. First, thanks to my patient and wise supervisors Jim Tully and Donald Matheson. I asked for critical feedback and always appreciated your honest responses and guidance.

I'm not sure 11 whether I have to redo the health and safety comments I did yesterday, but out of an 12 abundance of caution I'll give you my truncated version of it and, that is, if a siren sounds 13 you'll be ushered out to an assembly point and if there's an earthquake it's crouching and 14 holding in here until such time as it's safe to go outside, don't go rushing outside, I think 15 those were the two key points. 16 One other matter of housekeeping, the draft of the transcript for yesterday's public 17 sessions are available and they'll be published on the website today. That will appear on 18 our NZME Fairfax project page. 19 Today is going to be exploring some wide-ranging views initially on plurality and 20 there'll be just a bit of traffic and organisation because not only will we hear from the 21 executives of the company, but we are keen today to hear from journalists with different 22 voices and I assume they are present in the room today and will come in, some on the 23 phone as well. So we just have to be very careful for the record to make sure that 24 everybody is identifying themselves and speaking clearly into a source that can be heard by 25 the stenographer.

The 22 February 2011 Canterbury earthquake provides an opportunity to consider how a traumatic event affects local journalists’ perception of their role in society, and their relationships to their audience and sources. From seeing the deadly results of the initial shake to interviewing those who lost loved ones, Christchurch-based journalists across print, radio and television faced difficult situations that they would not ordinarily encounter. These conditions presented unsual challenges for local journalists who shared the disaster experience with their audience.
