News, discussion, features and ideas until midday. A fresh attitude on current affairs, the news behind the news, in-depth documentaries, sport from the outfield, politics from the insiders. A critical look at the New Zealand media hosted by Colin Peacock and Hayden Donnell. Critical examination and analysis of recent performance and trends in New Zealand's news and media. There's never a shortage of opinions on the media - but Mediawatch looks at it all in detail twice a week, accompanied by to-the-point interviews and analysis. Mediawatch is a must-listen each week for those keen to know more about the news - and each edition must also stand up to the scrutiny of those who work in our media. On air since 2001 and as a podcast since 2007, Mediawatch looks critically at big stories and issues in the news right now - and what’s going on behind the scenes across the media. Mediawatch examines the output of reporters, producers and editors - as well as the input of PR and the ad industry. It also questions the executives, policy-makers, politicians, regulators and tech companies which influence our media today.
