Hard News: Strange days for journalism, in reply to Joe Wylie,
I really don't think we should have to join the dots in so far as to what the journalist is thinking. If indeed digital media, and broadcast media (already is), must go behind a paywall to survive - and if this will determine the tautness of journalism, it may be a good thing.
The current model is providing us with these very strange interview and article techniques - why is that? -
Hard News: Strange days for journalism, in reply to Joe Wylie,
I think this is an example of extremely strange journalism, including the reference to the Campbell interview. That was really strange, and as was alluded to above - where is our public broadcaster? Mind you with the way the money flows, TV3 might just slip in as a public broadcaster?
Mr Key quite frankly is getting a sweet ride, especially when pfiss and pseudo psychological analysis are the analysis.
I am reminded of the BBC interview
Both the media and the opposition (Greens aside) are failing us, demonstrably strange days indeed.

Don't you mean the trains must be sold on time?

John Key said today that his coalition government could not be held to task for dictatorial and draconian warfare waged against the poor... the trains don't run on time , he said.

Hard News: Drunk Town, in reply to Russell Brown,
If there were more and better toilets, not so many people would piss and vomit in the street. And maybe as well as flooding the town with cops, you could send in a little non-coercive support -- first aid people, for instance.
Run it like the RWC game, players and stadia, with zambucks ;-), seriously it's our little forbidden secret...there will be very pissed people cavorting in town spending money on the sponsors...Govt. don't mind raking in the profits, but town is our space, it would be cool if they ran it as such.
But that would take vision and care, prerequisites not required for Govt. manglement. As for local Govt. we get and pay for an ice rink, do we get commensurate services to go with that or should we simply shame people into behaving?
The govt. are spending on something, it ain't us. -
