Thanks Paul. When even Superman is giving up on print news, some fundamental rethinking is needed (h/t Toby Manhire).

We are citizens as well as consumers.
Some of media's privileged access and legal indemnity comes from serving the former, not the latter. If we change the social contract, let's revisit those as well.
As was raised during the Commerce Commission review of new media, if someone is performing the same role, why not offer similar protection and access, and enforce standards? And if they're not, it shouldn't matter that they used to be a 'newspaper'.
When you look at the swift counter-action in this story, imagine if Keith had taken on a big corporate rather than govt department - and what protections might have helped, other than deep pockets or establishment connections?

how to mail the A0 photo
Rolled up, in a long carboard tube of some sort? Though I'd hand-deliver to Newmarket to be safe. Nice work.

I commend theconversation.edu as really welcome media development
Same. Have been enjoying their Twitter feed. Firm commitment to standards doesn't prevent strong advocacy pieces either.
A recent one on the conseqences for fact-impaired radio jock Alan Jones and his employer seems relevant to this thread. Imagine if our regulator had the balls to demand similar for Lhaws and his ilk?

That 'rule' annoys me. Anyone know where it came from?

A good part of the skill of broadcast journalism in particular lies in economy
Wish I had more of it
