  • 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.

  • Kennedy Anderson
    Kennedy Anderson Eyes Blue/Grey Instagram Young entrepreneur Kennedy Anderson has a few tattoos - which isn’t unusual in itself - but one of the most significant is the tally symbol on the inside of his left arm – currently standing at six; the number of businesses he has founded since he was 15 years old. A creative by trade, conceptualising innovative new products and services has been at the heart of everything Kennedy has done since he was still in high school. His first business, as a family and wedding photographer, took off at an age when most teenagers are studying for their NCEA; it proved to be a solid launchpad for his entrepreneurial flight path. Now a creative director at one of Australasia's fastest-growing marketing agencies, Glass Elephant, Kennedy underpins everything he does with the principles of positive energy, accountability, and integrity - values he had instilled in him from childhood. It is these qualities that also helped him secure a spot on the 2021 TVNZ reboot of The Apprentice Aotearoa, where his leadership skills came into sharp focus in front of thousands of viewers. Kennedy credits his passion and willpower to his very driven parents, who raised him in Waiuku (South Auckland) while running their own businesses, so he was exposed to the enduring commitment it takes to ensure a company flourishes. Even as a young child, Kennedy would tell his parents he wanted to be a CEO! Armed with big dreams and goals, Kennedy moved to Auckland aged 18 to begin studying industrial design. He quickly found his tribe, surrounding himself with business mentors and partners who could guide him through the start-up process, and put his plans into action.

  • Media Release 21 September 2016 BSA Finds Tiler Featured on The
    Media Release 21 September 2016 BSA finds tiler featured on The Block NZ: Villa Wars treated unfairly The Broadcasting Standards Authority has upheld a fairness complaint from a tiler featured in an episode of The Block NZ: Villa Wars and found that his conduct was misrepresented. The BSA has ordered broadcaster MediaWorks TV to pay costs to the Crown of $1,500. Ljubisa ‘Bob’ Djurdjevic was described as a ‘temperamental European tiler’ who allegedly wanted to be paid in advance and went ‘AWOL’ when he was not paid. He complained that he was treated unfairly and that the show misrepresented his work ethic. He also complained that he had made it clear he did not want to be shown on the programme. The Authority found that the programme created an unfairly negative impression of Mr Djurdjevic. It was alleged that he did not ‘show up’ at the site and was late. The programme created a strong impression that he wanted to be paid upfront before completing his work. The Authority found that these claims were inaccurate and misleading. It was further found that Mr Djurdjevic was not adequately informed of the nature of his participation in the programme or that he would be portrayed as ‘temperamental’ or that the theme would be ‘tradie troubles’. The Authority said “Mr Djurdjevic was not given a reasonable opportunity to comment on how he was portrayed in the broadcast because he did not know he was going to feature in the broadcast or the angle that would be taken.” In its decision, the Authority emphasised the importance of ensuring that all participants in reality television are treated fairly.
