  • JMAD Media Ownership Report
    JMAD New Zealand Media Ownership Report 2014 Published: 2014 December 5 Author: Merja Myllylahti This New Zealand Ownership Report 2014 is the fourth published by AUT’s Centre for Journalism, Media and Democracy (JMAD). The report finds that the New Zealand media market has failed to produce new, innovative media outlets, and that all the efforts to establish non-profit outlets have proved unsustainable. The report confirms the general findings of previous reports that New Zealand media space has remained highly commercial. It also confirms the financialisation of media ownership in the form of banks and fund managers. The report also observes that in 2014 convergence between New Zealand mass media and the communications sector generally was in full swing. Companies, such as Spark (former Telecom NZ), started to compete head-to-head with the traditional broadcasters on the online on-demand video and television markets. The American online video subscription service Netflix is entering the NZ market in March 2015. Additionally, the report notes evidence of uncomfortable alliances between citizen media, politicians, PR companies and legacy media. As Nicky Hager’s Dirty Politics book revealed, the National Party and PR practitioners used the Whale Oil blog to drive their own agendas. Also, events related to Maori TV, TVNZ and Scoop raise questions about political interference in media affairs. It is now evident that the boundaries between mainstream media, bloggers, public relations practitioners and politicians are blurring. Key events and trends concerning New Zealand media Financialisation of mass media ownership confirmed Substantial changes in Fairfax, APN and MediaWorks ownership Competition heats up in online television and video markets Turbulence at Maori TV Blurred lines among politicians, bloggers, journalists and PR practitioners The JMAD New Zealand media ownership reports are available here: http://www.aut.ac.nz/study- at-aut/study-areas/communications/media-networks/journalism,-media-and-democracy-research- centre/journalists-and-projects 1 1.

  • Submission On: Exploring Digital Convergence- Issues for Policy and Legislation and Content Regulation in a Converged World
    Submission on: Exploring Digital Convergence- issues for policy and legislation and Content Regulation in a Converged World October 2015 1 Preamble The Coalition for Better Broadcasting1 welcomes the opportunity to comment on the Exploring Digital Convergence- issues for policy and legislation and Content Regulation in a Converged World discussion documents. The following submission encompasses responses to both papers. Given that the regulatory issues overlap on several practical and conceptual levels, the submission pertains to both and we would ask that the comments be taken into consideration in any deliberations stemming from both the convergence documents and, where relevant, the review of telecommunications legislation (see comments in sections 2 and 5). We are pleased that the government has decided to address the regulatory questions stemming from convergence, especially since the earlier (2008) government initiative Digital Broadcasting- Review of Regulation2, which was intended to address many of the issues the current consultation covers, was cut short in 2009 after a limited review of competition issues. Given the complexities of the convergence-related issues to be addressed, we have to observe that the time-frame for stakeholder response has significantly constrained the opportunities for a more fulsome response, and given the that selected industry stakeholders were reportedly consulted at earlier points in the process of formulating this framework, we are concerned that groups representing civil society appear not to have had an equal opportunity to engage. Given the experience and expertise of the CBB’s board and their independence from vested commercial interests, we would be keen to participate in any future consultations and would appreciate being kept informed about the time-frames for the planned review of issues emerging from these consultations.

  • In New Zealand a Grounded Theory Analysis of Kiwi FM 2015
    Powerful Music: Media, Culture and the ‘Third-way’ in New Zealand A Grounded Theory Analysis of Kiwi FM Matt Mollgaard School of Communication Studies Faculty of Design and Creative Technologies Auckland University of Technology A dissertation submitted to Auckland University of Technology in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy 2015 2 Abstract The New Zealand radio market is one of the most deregulated in the world. There are no limits on ownership, very few constraints on content and no quotas for local content. New Zealand’s radio environment reflects the strong neo-liberal principles that underpin the open, market-driven New Zealand economy. Political promises and public discussions about the creation of a nationwide commercial-free public radio service for young people had faltered against these principles in the early to mid-2000s with strong opposition from incumbent commercial radio interests decrying government interference in their commercial rights. It was in to this environment in 2005 that one half of the foreign- owned radio broadcasting duopoly introduced a radio network into the three main cities that played only New Zealand music – Kiwi FM. Within a year the network had failed to attract sufficient listeners and advertisers to stay on-air and was nearing closure. At this point the Labour government of the day stepped in to save the struggling network by giving it access to temporary free frequencies and funding to make programmes featuring New Zealand music. This was an extraordinary situation in that commercial radio in New Zealand is notable for its focus on producing only programming that will create significant profits for shareholders, rather than public service-type programming benefiting national arts and culture.

  • Rugby Player in the Region and and Members for Their Tireless Efforts
    THE BulletinAPRIL 2013 The Magazine of the Nelson College Community 1 From the Acting Headmaster – Mr Tim Tucker The staff and students of the school have been busy in recent months. Even more gratifying is that the industry has been rewarded with many many fantastic results. It remains that the provision of high quality courses and the best possible education for our boys are our greatest priorities. The opening of the Gibbons Trade Education Centre is one example of the Old Boys, Community and College working together to provide the best for our boys. The Centre is a modern purpose-built facility which is providing students with the highest quality preparation for a career in their chosen trades area. I would like to acknowledge all the sponsors and supporters of this project but especially the Gibbons family. The family was personally involved in the project at all stages and willingly gave considerable time and resources to ensure the highest quality results. The Education Review Office visited the school in August 2012 to assess the quality of teaching and learning occurring at Nelson College. The ERO visit involves a great deal of investigative work from their team and extensive review of our courses and policies. Nelson College is one of only 15% of schools nationwide to receive the highest grade of review. The grade of review is measured by the length of time until the next visit – ours will be five years! Perhaps most importantly it is reassurance from the highest level that we are delivering high quality learning in a positive and motivating environment or as ERO put it, "students are highly engaged in learning" ..
