Submission on review of NZ Press Council
Based on existing research and our 2005 study, Kupu Taea recommended:
- the creation of a separate and completely independent body, with the promotion of ethical journalism as its sole focus
- formal separation from the media industry
- representation of Maori media and journalism organisations and media consumer organisations on the board
- rewritten media standards that acknowledge the Treaty of Waitangi and include Maori as well as Pakeha perspectives on balance, fairness, accuracy and other standards
