A thesis presented in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Arts in Geography at Massey University. Dale Cameron Bailey January 1985 "When you. take stuff from one writer, it's plagarism: but when you take it from many writers, it's research." Wilson Mizner 1876 -1933. AI3STRACT This thesis examines the people and forces shapLng the development of New Zealand Broadcasting. People and the structures they live with have proven to be important, both identifiable yet inseparable. By examining process, this thesis has brought the two together in social enquiry. The development of broadcasting from the first experience in Wireless Telegraphy to the present day has been a series of complex changes. Key individuals and certain structures have shaped that development. Each chapter that details this d~velopment.adoptsa different emphasis, thus providing insight' into the wide range of forces being brought to bear. Three aspects in particular are explored in detail. Changing technologies, the development or new conceptions of broad- casting, and the altering nature of organisations have proved focal points for this thesis. These avenues of enquiry reveal more about the nature of Broadcasting and the society in which it resides. ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I heartily thank all those who have contributed to this thesis. I am in gratitude to my typist, Barby Taylor, my proof reader and Aunt, M. Barber and cartographer, K.Puklowski. I also thank my family who have endured my lhiversity education, and in the last year anecdotes of broadcasting. Thanks must also go to the Department of Geography, Massey lhiversity for valued assistance. To my colleagues, Jane and Iain, I express appreciation for the helpful discussions we have had. But special thanks must go to my supervisor and mentor, Richard Le Heron, whose time, patience and ideas have greatly shaped this thesis. ii Special thanks to the following individuals who granted me interviews. The discussions with these people greatly aided my thesis. I am indebted to their generosity. Keitha BOOTH Ian CROSS Hon, R.O. DOUGLAS H. GOUGH Hon. J. HlNT I. »:LEAN Mj Gen W. S. »::'KINNON C.G.

Bibliography 1 CHAPTER 1 'A PERSONAL FRAMEWORK' It is as unhelpful to separate a thesis from its author as it is to separate music from its composer. In the past, the character, ideals, hopes, values and aspirations of a researcher were seen as extraneous to his work, a distraction to his 'science'. Both, however, are interwoven, affecting each other. This short comment is intended to provide the reader with some background which has influenced the author's choice of topic and approach. Born in 1962, the author has lived and been educated within the confines of the Manawatu region. Attending a rural primary school, and later an urban boys' high school, he developed a taste for further educatioo. This led to enrolment in a Bachelor of Arts course, m.ajoring in Geography at Massey thiversity. This was later extended to a Masterate, £or which this thesis has been prepared. A committed anti-centralist, the author developed interests in both history and current events. The sensitivity to history was in part inspired by a long family association in the area. Politics has also dominated the author's interests, with a special interest in rural affairs. In Geography and Social Science studies, interests were pursued around the nature of people and the systems they create. In particular there has been a fascination with the structures, organisations and institutions created in society. This, combined with a desire to explain things more adequately has led the author to explore the development of knowledge in contextual terms, linking both human agency and social structure. To conclude it is important not to over-emphasise the impact of these ideas and experiences. But, on the other hand, to disregard them would be inappropriate. They have been acknowledged and should be recognised £or what they are. 2 "Reasoning Rules are intellectual tools by which we structure our thoughts and actions. My choice of reasoning mode is therefore analogous to the craftman's choice of trade tools; in both cases I am influenced by my subject matter, by my experiences I have accumulated in the past, by my present milieu and by my hopes and fears for the future" Gunnar Olsson, 1980. 3 CHAPTER 2 "A CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK FOR A STUDY OF B~ASTING" As B. Wood (1982) contends 'a history of Broadcasting can only proceed by referring to what is~ Broadcasting' (Wood, 1982, 107). Broadcasting, and indeed any other activity, must be explained within its milieu. In the context of New Zealand, this means gaining an understanding of a capitalist society. This can really only be achieved through embracing social theory. Recent social theorists havesought to overcome the difficult dichotomy of structure and agency. Latterly there has been a recognition that both global processes and local

  • The Roles of Police, Media and Public in Coverage of the Coral-Ellen Burrows Murder Inquiry
    JOURNALISM DOWNUNDER Information provision and restriction: The roles of police, media and public in coverage of the Coral-Ellen Burrows murder inquiry ABSTRACT Six-year-old Coral-Ellen Burrows disappeared in September 2003 after her stepfather, Stephen Williams, had apparently dropped her off at school, though in fact he had murdered her. After extensive searches, her body was found 10 days later. Williams pleaded guilty to murder and was duly sentenced. The intensive cross-media coverage of the search for Coral- Ellen—of the kind that Innes (1999) commenting on media and police interactions in Britain calls ‘blitz coverage’, made this case the pre- eminent news story of 2003. However, the attenuated nature of the search also exposed some of the tensions inherent in the relationships between those parties interested in the case. We understand these to consist of six entities which have an existence that is both material and conceptual: these are the victim’s family, possible suspects, the local community, the police, the media, and the national public, in this case envisaged in a dual role as wider community and media-audience. All of these stand in relationship to the more abstract yet rigid institution of the law, whose dictates guide the behaviour of the police, and strongly infl uence that of the media. This paper reports on research carried out by analysis of New Zealand Herald, Wairarapa Times-Age and TV One coverage of the case, and by two interviews with journalists investigating the forces that shaped the media coverage.

  • An Historical Survey of the Establishment of an Orchestral Tradition in Christchurch to 1939
    AN HISTORICAL SURVEY OF THE ESTABLISHMENT OF AN ORCHESTRAL TRADITION IN CHRISTCHURCH TO 1939 A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in Music in the University of Canterbury by Philip Jane University of Canterbury 2009 ii Abstract This dissertation is the first study devoted solely to the history of an orchestral tradition in Christchurch. Within a timeframe stretching from the beginning of the local settlement to the establishment of the first “national” orchestra in 1939, it provides detailed portrayals of all facets of amateur and professional orchestral activity. This includes the histories of all orchestral bodies, their membership, a chronology of concerts, repertoire, programme structure and critical reception. This dissertation explains the advance of orchestral tradition that is at times tentative and at times bold, until it is securely entrenched as a mainstream musical activity in Christchurch. A preliminary narration, which begins in 1857, ends in 1906 with the International Exhibition. This is then discussed as a landmark event for orchestral music in Christchurch. A series of case studies for the period of 1908 to 1939, covers each of the five major orchestral groups that flourished in this period. The case studies also include the footprints of development, the “incidental” music performed by the cinema orchestras, and the “studio only” performances of many broadcasting groups. The role played by minor orchestral groups as an “alternative” music culture is included, along with the impact of orchestras associated with visiting opera companies. The final section is a detailed analysis of the repertoire and programme construction, and a discussion of the people who played an influential role in the development of an orchestral tradition.

  • 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.
