Media disenchantment...(The Platform 6th May).
Exactly what motivated New Zealand's mainstream media chief's to help destroy their most valuable asset-trust in their editorial independance-by accepting a share of $55million in govt cash, WITH strings attached, remains a mystery given the obvious pitfalls. Journalists are being told: 'Toe the line on He Puapua and the prescribed interpretation of the Treaty (ie as we see it) or else you won't get funding.
Graham Adams' poll in 'The Platform' shows how badly the $55M media fund has damaged public trust.....and not one of the big outlets printed the poll results!!....surprised?....
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
