#nzonair — Public Fediverse posts

Only discovered #Creamerie on a repeat. Really decent local dystopian series from a few years ago. Props to the people who made this show! #TVNZ #IrirangiTeMotu #NZonAir #TV

@RoddersClassics @ArrestJK I had a personal relationship with Bryce in that he was trying to help me get work doing a weekly satire animation clip with Q&A post my Planet Key video fame. TVNZ were uninterested but I ended up doing it with TV3, unpaid, for The Nation in 2015. My wife made me stop as I couldn't feed the whanau by working for free on a #NZonAir funded TV show.

Jackson’s Plan B for public media.

With the extra fund RNZ should open a #Mastodon instance

In other words, #NZOnAir is handing out #CorporateWelfare equivalent to about 750 unemployment benefits for a year. The whole doco series should be under a #CreativeCommons license, or paid for entirely by the corporations who who profit from charging for access to it. Public media production funding should be reserved for productions that have #PublicInterest value, but little chance of recouping their production costs through commercial distribution deals. CC licenses should be required.

There's one more thing this article about #NZonAir and public funding of media production doesn't mention (aside from the conflict of interest in writing on this topic being sponsored by a streaming service). Media funded by the public ought to be released under a #CreativeCommons license. If I want to download and watch #TerryTeo while in China, ARR copyright is likely to make that difficult (assuming its even available, it's probably #GeoBlocked). Why should it be?

I can't watch this #NZOnAir funded documentary, produced by public broadcaster #RadioNZ, because it's on YouTube, which is blocked in China. How annoying:

Hey RadioNZ, I have no objection to you putting your stuff on YT so it's available to the audience who choose to use that platform, but how about setting up a #PeerTube server to put all your video content on so it's not compulsory to use YT to watch it?
