  • 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.

  • Platform Contributions - Summary of Feedback and Draft Policy
    Platform Contributions - Summary of feedback and Draft Policy March 2020 Purpose 1. The purpose of this paper is to summarise the public feedback NZ On Air received to the Platform Contributions review Discussion paper. In consideration of that feedback this paper then outlines a proposed approach that will form NZ On Air’s first official Platform Contributions policy, designed to clarify our expectations. Executive Summary 2. The shift to the NZ Media Fund (NZMF) has increased the diversity of platforms and audiences for which we fund content. Since the launch of the NZMF some issues have arisen in relation to platform contribution expectations. Specifically, there has been a degree of inequity and ambiguity in how we treat platforms and their financial commitment to projects, and we need to make this more consistent. 3. There was no clear consensus in the feedback we received on our discussion paper issued in November 2019. This paper is NZ On Air clarifying our expectations around platform contributions. 4. Key principles used to create this proposed Platform Contributions policy are: • Equity: a system that is fair for platforms, producers, and taxpayers • Proportionality: the bigger the funding request, the higher our expectation for co-investment • Simplicity: a simple, generally accepted approach that streamlines negotiation to assist both producers, platforms and NZ On Air staff • Incentivisation: a system that encourages both platforms and producers to support and create great, diverse content and secure co-investment where possible. Background 5. In November 2019 NZ On Air issued a Discussion paper to inform a review of Platform Contributions. Given the competing tensions described in the paper, the sharp increase in applications submitted and funded in the past two years, and the emergence of new digital platforms seeking to stream and produce local video content, NZ On Air needs to clarify guidelines and expectations of platform contributions.

  • Clothing Upcycling in Otago (Ōtākou) and the Problem of Fast Fashion
    Clothing Upcycling in Otago (Ōtākou) and the Problem of Fast Fashion Kirsten Michelle Koch A thesis submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for a Master of Arts in Sociology at the University of Otago. Abstract Clothing Upcycling in Otago (Ōtākou) This dissertation employs qualitative inductive research methods to address the ‘problem of global fast fashion’. Currently the global production of garments is 62 million tonnes per annum with the majority of production occurring in the world’s poorest countries with limited human rights and labour and environmental protections. From 1994 to 2018 following the easing of trade protections in Developing countries and internationally, there has been a 400% increase in the tonnage of clothing produced internationally. This figure is only escalating. As the level of global clothing waste grows following global clothing consumption rates, the drive to expand the market is fuelling the production of vast amounts of poor-quality textiles and resultant textile waste. In Developed countries 67% of textile waste is commercially on-sold as second-hand clothing to mostly Developing countries. The need for ever cheaper fashion production processes creates ethical concerns for global garment workers and those who sort and dispose of garment waste. Garment workers are 80% women and often women of colour living in Developing countries with few employment options. Meanwhile, textile practitioners and clothing designers in Westernised countries such as New Zealand, are experiencing heightened job precarity and an increasingly diminished space to exercise creativity, sustainable innovation, and social critique. The research interviews local Otago (Ōtākou) textile practitioners who upcycle clothing within their practice assessing how these localised creative actions connect to the larger global ‘slow fashion’ movement, including the ‘clothing upcycling’ movement.
