Decolonising the news: 4 fundamental questions media can ask when covering stories about Māori

June 27, 2023

ANALYSIS: By Angela Moewaka Barnes, Massey University; Belinda Borell, Massey University, and Tim McCreanor, Massey University There is little evidence to suggest Aotearoa New Zealand’s mainstream news media critically evaluate their own reporting on issues about or affecting Māori and te Tiriti o Waitangi (Treaty of Waitangi). This is concerning, given the negative framing of ... <a title="Decolonising the news: 4 fundamental questions media can ask when covering stories about Māori" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2023/06/27/decolonising-the-news-4-fundamental-questions-media-can-ask-when-covering-stories-about-maori/" aria-label="Read more about Decolonising the news: 4 fundamental questions media can ask when covering stories about Māori">Read more</a>

Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: The Era of complacency over political conflicts of interest is over

June 22, 2023

Analysis by Dr Bryce Edwards. Michael Wood has become a victim of his own complacency about conflicts of interest. He simply didn’t take integrity rules meant to protect the New Zealand political system from corruption seriously. And that’s rightly led to his downfall. Wood’s complacency about corruption-prevention is hardly unique. The whole country has generally ... <a title="Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: The Era of complacency over political conflicts of interest is over" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2023/06/22/bryce-edwards-political-roundup-the-era-of-complacency-over-political-conflicts-of-interest-is-over/" aria-label="Read more about Bryce Edwards’ Political Roundup: The Era of complacency over political conflicts of interest is over">Read more</a>

Keith Rankin Analysis – Covid19 Mortality Assessment – the Pandemic ‘World Cup’

June 21, 2023

Analysis by Keith Rankin. The Pandemic can be assessed a bit like games of football, with deaths being the score. (Or, given that there are many ‘teams’ competing together, a better analogy may be a Marathon race. Nevertheless, I will use the language of the football metaphor.) The winning country would be that with the ... <a title="Keith Rankin Analysis – Covid19 Mortality Assessment – the Pandemic ‘World Cup’" class="read-more" href="https://eveningreport.nz/2023/06/21/keith-rankin-analysis-covid19-mortality-assessment-the-pandemic-world-cup/" aria-label="Read more about Keith Rankin Analysis – Covid19 Mortality Assessment – the Pandemic ‘World Cup’">Read more</a>
