Comparing yesterday afternoon's coverage, TV3 had that early head start and grabbed some compelling on-the-street footage. Hilary Barry pulled it all together wonderfully as the day progressed into night.
Too often when I switched over to check, TVNZ had static and rather musty graphics while someone talked to them over the phone. Radio without pictures, only not as good as RNZ. Later they played clips behind the invisible talking heads, but still with a half screen cluttered with meaningless graphics like a picture of a phone with their logo overlaid on it. Not as good brand reinforcement as familiar presenters' faces, frankly.
By the 6 o'clock news slot, TVNZ seemed to be focused more on relaying pretty much verbatim the official government word while TV3 recycled those experiential clips but didn't seem to cover the media conferences as much.
I didn't watch both TV channels properly, or RNZ much (in the face of the entrancing Twitter feed), so I'd take what I've said with a bag o salt.

Likewise protections of employment for people who are required by the emergency to leave their ordinary place of work in order to assist. That cannot kick in until a state of emergency covers their workplace.
Good point
