It should be noted that I may have missed a few poems here and there as I’ve only checked Saturday publications of The Star for these years, and I can’t be certain that there weren’t occasional midweek publications of poems. Some issues like the supplement to Saturday 2 August 1924 were missing (in micro film runs) and it’s likely Sherratt’s 25th Polynesian legend (of the 30) appeared that weekend. I’ve only included local NZ poets in the Index from the Saturday poetry page 'Among the Poets'. Overseas poets appeared as well, reproduced from overseas magazines and collections. These overseas poets are not in the Index. There were also two regular (unsigned) doggerel columns: 'Spindrifts' and 'Things Thoughtful' and I've not indexed these columns.

  • Strategic Priorities for FY2009 Business Plan
    MCH Regulatory Review TVNZ Submission April 2008 Contents • PART 1: Executive Summary 2 • PART 2: Terminology 7 • PART 3: Context – Value of Public Service Broadcasting 10 – The Need for Marketplace Rules 24 • PART 4: Regulatory Review – Approach 36 – Environment 38 – Cross-Value Chain Issues 43 – Content Issues 51 – Distribution Issues 58 – Network Issues 65 TVNZ Submission: MCH Regulatory Review April 2008 2 Executive Summary • Public service broadcasting is important in order to ensure: the continued visibility and impact of local and public service content; plurality of voices in the media; and independence in an increasingly globalised world. TVNZ has a specific role to play as the Public Service Broadcaster to deliver Charter content and bring New Zealand to New Zealanders • New Zealanders value the principles of public service broadcasting as set out in TVNZ’s Charter. However, public service broadcasting in New Zealand does not receive stable, long-term funding • New Zealand has paid little attention to the broadcasting and media competitive environment. The lack of marketplace rules is not working for the existing broadcasting market, let alone converging markets • The lack of marketplace rules means that SKY has had the freedom to develop a business model in New Zealand not seen in other countries. SKY has been able to develop a vertically integrated business with the potential to exert considerable market power. That lack of marketplace rules and dominance by one player could lead to a lack of media diversity in New Zealand • Significant change is required across a number of areas identified by MCH. Marketplace rules are required in order to create a fair and level playing field for all participants.
