.. most of us read them, listen to them or watch them. We rely on journalists to tell us the news and trust them to report it accurately and honestly through the papers, magazines, television, radio and now the internet.
Journalists gathered last weekend for a conference last weekend in Wellington entitled "Journalism Matters". With their usual wit and way with words, many attendees have commented on the sessions, which makes interesting reading for followers of the Fourth Estate.
One of the key note speakers was Chris Warren, the former President of the International Federation of Journalists, and currently representing the journalists of Australia. The text of his speech can be found at http://www.scoop.co.nz/stories/PO0708/S00165.htm
Online magazine getfrank calls itself "a no BS, spin-free alternative to other mens' publications in the New Zealand marketplace. Think of getfrank as an online lifestyle magazine with a strong business & political focus, somewhere in the realm of Arena or Details meeting the Economist for lunch and Vanity Fair for dinner, all with a sense of humour. This online site has a particularly entertaining report at http://www.getfrank.co.nz/journalism-matters.html
The Pacific Media Centre site which is run by AUT students also has some great comment on the weekends events. Link through to that at http://www.pmc.aut.ac.nz/niusbeat/070812_OM-MakingPublic.shtml
