Description of this Book

Journalism and public affairs in New Zealand come under long-awaited academic scrutiny in Scooped : the Power and Politics of Journalism in Aotearoa New Zealand. Fresh theoretical and analytical perspectives abound on subjects as diverse as public broadcasting, media representation of Maori, newsroom culture, the electronic public sphere and challenges faced by political journalists, as contributors tease out exactly what kind of power is wielded by our news media - and how. As well as providing a much-needed supplement to New Zealand media such as Donald Matheson's assessment of the quality of our international news and acclaimed investigative journalist Nicky Hager's 'Twenty-five ways to have better journalism' offering thought-provoking reading for students of both journalism and public relations.
