Gallery Column Comment
Under debate is whether our newspapers are printed to provide a public service or, as the Wall St Journal once said, 'a newspaper is private enterprise owing nothing whatever to the public...'. Happily few newspapers in NZ share that view. A new paper in Auckland is aimed at the large Polynesian population and has local news in four languages.
A weekly review of the press in New Zealand from the New Zealand Broadcasting Corporation (NZBC).
