"... the Department of Corrections had posted a procurement notice on the website of GETS, the Government Electronic Tenders Service. Which is often scanned by journalists looking for stories about budget government spending."

Not really a secret. So Mitchell not knowing about it is just more evidence that he's not paying attention to what's happening in his portfolio. The kneejerk response is typical though.

Alcuni media filoucraini sono ancora fiduciosi di poter mantenere la città di Kostyantynivka. Questo è un articolo recente a cui ha collaborato Victoria Butenko reporter ucraina che lavora per CNN. Dal 2014, e in particolar modo durante l'invasione russa, la Butenko ha fornito una copertura continua sul campo da Kiev e dalle zone di guerra, contribuendo a numerosi articoli, reportage speciali ed esclusive per l'emittente americana. -
"I think Morning Report will definitely be in his sights, and I think he'll want to see better audience ratings from that program, because he'll be comparing it very much to Hosking, at NewstalkZB."
#MarkJennings, Co-Editor, Newsroom, 2026
This is a classic example of the Business Idiocy described in the article by Ed Zitron I've been quoting this morning.

I'm still catching up on MediaWatch as I struggle back to some level of functioning. Today's listen is the June 28 edition, which covers lobbyist Matthew Hooten becoming editor of the capital's daily paper, and the departing editor becoming a lobbyist for Business NZ.

Mentre il New York Times, il Guardian, Le Monde, hanno dato risalto alle conclusioni della Commissione Onu in Italia, leggendo le testate più importanti, sembra che non sia successo niente. Zero titoli.
Con delle eccezioni. Il Sole 24 Ore ha richiamato la notizia in prima pagina. In prima l’ha messa anche il Manifesto, così come l’Unità, che le ha dedicato l’apertura. Per il Fatto Quotidiano, è una spalla a pagina 10.

ABC's Media Watch takes aim at the Daily Telegraph's emotional campaign against the Kosciuszko Brumby cull. Plenty of actor quotes & outrage, light on the science, environmental damage, and the independent vet review showing the aerial shooting was quick & humane. Classic tabloid vs facts.

Kiev: "Mosca si arrenderà". Leggendo Rainews non sembra emergere la fonte di questa dichiarazione.
Attacchi incessanti sulla Crimea, è quasi coprifuoco. Kiev: "Mosca si arrenderà"

Here's a local example of the "Mirror World" Naomi Klein describes in #Doppelganger;
“I believe that public discourse is damaged when a large platform labels or characterises others negatively, particularly in ways that are untrue, with the purpose or effect of silencing or discrediting them."
#JimGrenon, Canadian billionaire, media mogul, 2026
Quoted by Stuff from Grenon's affidavit;

Emile Donovan wants to stick with convention and call Pete Hegseth the "Secretary of Defence";
Why? Given the number of wars the US has started or escalated - at least 1 started during this administration too - I think Hegseth's choice of job title is curiously appropriate.

Ma il drone russo era ucraino e così la NATO ha fatto “fuoco amico”

Da alcune settimane è partita una campagna mediatica per dimostrare che la Russia non sta più avanzando sul campo di battaglia e che l'Ucraina è ora in grado di capovolgere le sorti della guerra. Cosa c'è di vero?

"There's a whole lot of AI I used that saved a whole lot of grunt work time in the production process and freed me up for creativity. But if you're dealing with an unreliable research tool, and you're checking up on it, you're not saving time, you're adding labour ..."

Murdoch’s papers spent years screaming that tax cuts for billionaires would “trickle down”.
Now Labor tweaks super concessions for the ultra wealthy and suddenly it’s “class war”, “economic vandalism” and the end of civilisation.
Amazing how News Corp only discovers fiscal responsibility when rich people might pay tax.#auspol #murdoch #newscorp #taxtherich #superannuation #budget #mediawatch

"Transmission via FM ... is a great way for broadcasters to reach an audience. All you need is 1 antenna to reach thousands of people, if not millions ... in a big city like Auckland, for example, and that costs the listeners absolutely nothing to receive. There's no data plan, there's no time lag.

"Removing content standards such as accuracy, balance and fairness, I think invites a significant political risk. You could end up with a rogue media operator with significant market power that chose to ignore them, with impunity. And I think that's politically dangerous, democratically it's indefensible."

This is a very complicated issue, and I'm still figuring out what I think.

Strategia di comunicazione
Le RSF hanno utilizzato piattaforme social per trasmettere immagini di vittorie militari, cercando di ritrarsi come una forza moderna e disciplinata, in contrapposizione ai rapporti delle Nazioni Unite che le accusano di atrocità e pulizia etnica.
In sintesi, la strategia degli EAU in Sudan si basa su un sostegno a doppio binario: un forte supporto materiale alle RSF sul campo, accompagnato da una campagna di pubbliche relazioni.

Le attività degli Emirati Arabi Uniti (EAU) in Sudan, legate alle Rapid Support Forces (RSF - Forze di Supporto Rapido), si sono concentrate su una complessa strategia che unisce un sostegno militare/logistico discreto a operazioni di pubbliche relazioni (PR) e aiuti umanitari, finalizzate a legittimare il proprio ruolo nel conflitto sudanese.

L'oro del Darfur non è una risorsa per lo sviluppo del Sudan, ma un "motore di guerra". Gli Emirati Arabi Uniti agiscono come il terminale economico di questa catena, trasformando il minerale in valuta e armi che mantengono il Paese in uno stato di perenne conflitto.
Il Blood gold report 2023 ha ricostruito come i profitti auriferi finanzino attività di comunicazione registrate a Dubai e Istanbul.

"We've got about 30 NZers have come up here with us, at very short notice, from the companies that are going to benefit the most from the exports."

Oh no, McClay said the quiet part out loud! These "free trade agreements" are for the benefit of *companies*, not ordinary kiwis. He was meant to keep that to himself and spin the usual line about how it benefit us all. Oops!

Fantastic interview in the #MOLE Training con on MediaWatch on Sunday;
"There is definitely some form of regulation, not just to protect the entities per se, but to protect the ... value that we hold for media in our society ... to not be dependent on centralisation, or one *foreign* outlet to control the content and information within our own society."

"You only have to add a few adjectives in there and then you're telling people what *you* think ... And then you can put 'analysis' at the top. But in today's world the public wants and is ask for a much clearer distinction between news and opinion."
Dr #GregTreadwell, 2026
Maybe news websites ought to have their opinion sections under subdomains, eg opinion.rnz.co.nz, with a recognizably different masthead and page appearance?
