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.

"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.

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;
... and read out on #Mediawatch;

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.

"... younger audiences do just live on these [corporate social media] platforms, and it's very difficult to get them to migrate off."

"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 ..."

"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."

Tararua district caught between anniversary days
This is why in today's modern world we should do away with anniversary days and merge them into one day celebrated over all Aotearoa --- Let us call it Aotearoa day. What date would you put it on? I was thinking 27 December or May 1st.

Strumpfhose härten
Manchmal findet man in der Regionalzeitung recht interessante Tipps. Ich kann mit dieser Fotostrecke wie man Strompfhosen härtet um sie vor Laufmaschen zu schützen zwar nichts anfangen, aber immer wieder schön solche Schmankerln zu finden. 😀#Regionalzeitung #Strumpfhose #Laufmaschen #härten #Tippsandtricks #RNZ #2025-05-21

I got a notification from #RNZ calling the #election, and when I clicked through to the story, only 6% of the vote had been counted.
STOP DOING THIS!
