  • Cross-Media News Repertories in New Zealand
    . Volume 14, Issue 2 November 2017 Shopping in a narrow field: Cross-media news repertories in New Zealand Craig Hight, University of Newcastle, Australia Arezou Zalipour, University of Waikato, New Zealand Abstract: This article reports on the New Zealand case study within a larger project investigating cross-media news repertoires within (and across) national audiences. Six key news media repertoires emerged in this case study; heavy news consumers; hybrid browsers; digital browsers; ambivalent networkers; mainstream multiplatformers; and casual and connected). Despite a range of news media outlets available within New Zealand, particularly across digital platforms, participants consistently noted a relatively narrow social, cultural and political discursive field for news content in the country. Within this context, the news repertoires identified within this case study highlighted the high value placed by news consumers on national daily newspapers (print and online), and the continued salience of television and radio news broadcasting for some audience segments. But findings also offered a snapshot of the ways these are being supplemented or replaced, for some audience segments, by digital news outlets (even as these also generated dissatisfaction from many participants). Keywords: news repertoires, New Zealand, Q-methodology, news consumption, cross- cultural Introduction This article reports on the New Zealand case study within a larger project investigating patterns of news repertoires (Schrøder 2015) within (and across) national audiences, at a time of broadening forms of distribution of news content across a variety of media Page 416 Volume 14, Issue 2 November 2017 platforms. The overall project involved 12 countries and used a Q-sort methodology (Kobbernagel & Schrøder, 2016) to analyze and examine cross-media news consumption among audiences.

  • The Internet, the Law, and Privacy in New Zealand: Dignity with Liberty?
    International Journal of Communication 6 (2012), 127–143 1932–8036/20120127 The Internet, the Law, and Privacy in New Zealand: Dignity with Liberty? JONATHAN BARRETT LUKE STRONGMAN Open Polytechnic of New Zealand Early participants in the Internet experienced very little legal or social pressure with respect to either data privacy or regulation. However, the innovations of Web 2.0 are symptomatic of a re-creation of cyberspace from an original “free for all,” in which websites had no normative constraints, toward a significant shift to website management that addresses privacy concerns. If the laws of the non-virtual world are difficult to apply to the online world, must the non-virtual world create new laws to control the online world? Should a balance be made between laws of the non-virtual and virtual worlds, or should a new set of laws be created specifically to govern the Internet? Concordant with this dilemma is the issue that although precedent may create new laws, when the law changes with the possibilities for uses and abuses of new online technologies, to what extent can it be said to either perpetuate or create to any internally consistent system? Introduction For many of its early participants, the Internet presented the opportunity for a benignly anarchic and anomic space for freedom of expression that, in principle and practice, should be liberated from established legal traditions and social pressures. Its debt to the military notwithstanding (see Morozov, 2011b), Web 1.0 was typically conceived as a virtual realm that could be created, grown, and governed— or non-governed—by its participants.

  • Network Neutrality Adobe Acrobat PDF File 482 KB This
    InternetNZ Network Neutrality in New Zealand Public Discussion Document – June 2015 Network Neutrality InternetNZ invites you to collaborate with us, and the New Zealand Internet Community in understanding Network Neutrality in a New Zealand context. Network Neutrality is the sort of topic that InternetNZ is uniquely positioned to address. Our remit is to work for the Internet Community in all of its facets – business, consumer, government, academic and technical, and bring those perspectives to bear on issues. All of those constituent parts of our New Zealand Internet Community have a perspective on an issue like Network Neutrality, and we believe that uniquely robust and insightful solutions can be found through balancing those perspectives. InternetNZ is also a cause-based organisation in that we stand for the Open Internet. At its heart, Network Neutrality is about ensuring that that openness is preserved, to ensure that the Internet remains a platform for unfettered communication, collaboration and innovation. We have developed this discussion document because we believe that New Zealand will be best served if we start talking about Network Neutrality before there is a problem to solve. We envisage this being an open and collaborative process to develop an understanding of Network Neutrality grounded in the realities of the New Zealand market, and to propose solutions that are also uniquely appropriate to our challenges and opportunities. This document seeks to establish a definition of Network Neutrality to guide discussions; to understand the limitations and challenges of that definition in a New Zealand context, and to establish whether there is any cause for concern about Network Neutrality in the New Zealand market.

  • RBUS Final Report Adobe Acrobat PDF File 7.4 MB 01 August
    Current State of Broadband Usage of Rural Communities in New Zealand Final Report By Rural Broadband Usage Survey (RBUS) Project Team School of Engineering, Computer and Mathematical Sciences Auckland University of Technology Auckland, New Zealand August 2018 RBUS Project Team Academic Staff Members: - Dr William Liu - Professor Edmund M-K Lai - Associate Professor Jairo A. Gutierrez - Dr Simon Xiang Student Members: - Rory Knight - Louie Faundo - Chung But - Keli Liu - Khodesh Temita EXECUTIVE SUMMARY A statistical survey of rural residents in New Zealand’s North Island in relation to their current level of broadband access and use was conducted. The goal of this survey is to understand how rural residents and their communities are making use of the improved Internet connections through the Government’s Rural Broadband Initiative (RBI). In addition, the drivers of Internet use that characterizes the importance of the Internet to rural residents are explored. The survey data collection was conducted between February and July 2018, and it had been undertaken from a down-to-earth, grassroots perspective with face-to-face meetings with people living in rural areas. A total of 226 respondents had participated in this survey. The results of this rural broadband usage survey (RBUS) indicate that about 50% of the respondents are satisfied with the speed and the reliability of their Internet connections offered by RBI stage I. However, around 28% of the respondents are still dissatisfied with the Internet speed and connection reliability. The majority of the Internet usage involves searching for basic information and news, online entertainment and banking. There is still a high proportion of respondents who are unsure how else the Internet can help them in their day-to-day activities, e.g., using cloud technology capabilities and online marketing.

    INTERNATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATION UNION TELECOMMUNICATION ccTLD Doc 59 Rev 1 STANDARDIZATION SECTOR STUDY PERIOD 2001-2004 Original: English Workshop on Member States' experiences with ccTLD Geneva, 3-4 March 2003 DOCUMENT FOR ccTLD WORKSHOP Source: Co-Chairmen Title: Draft Summary The purpose of this document is to provide a summary of the input contributions to the workshop. In many countries, there is either a formal relation between the government and the operator of the corresponding ccTLD, or there is an informal relation. In many cases, domain names come under the provisions of a general telecommunications law and the government exercises its formal powers, or its informal influence, through the ministry of communications or the telecommunications regulator. In some cases the appropriate government authority supervises the activities of the ccTLD operator and approves their pricing policy if there isn't a competitive registry-registrar model. In many cases, previous informal arrangements are being clarified and/or formalized, under the sponsorship of the government, and in consultation with all concerned parties, because it is held that matters related to the administration and operation of the ccTLD are of public interest. The public interest arises from the growth of the Internet and its use to facilitate electronic commerce and the information society. It appears that there would be interest in, and scope for, agreeing framework "best practices" in certain areas. Indeed, WIPO has developed such for dispute resolution. ICANN states that it has a well-defined mission: to coordinate the administration of the Internet’s systems of unique identifiers (domain names, Internet protocol addresses, and protocol port and parameters numbers).
