Its a rough time in the industry (& in the office), but help is always available 🧡
Thinking of everyone at TVNZ as you head into meetings today. We know there are feelings of anxiety, sadness and uncertainty around proposed strategic changes. Our DMs are always open if you need to chat 💙

We still get complaints about use of te reo Māori on TV/radio. It’s no breach of standards to use a national language & we no longer consider such complaints. Kua mutu i te BSA te tirotiro amuamu mō te reo Māori. See our 2021 statement in Māori & English: bit.ly/3z2HfXd

Absolutely beautiful bulletin from Newshub last night — their work is so important and its closure is a significant loss to this country. A very sad day for journalism.

This was such a fun story produce - and I was able to squeeze into the crowd and listen to some tunes in between interviews 🕺

I’m NOT trying to call out different companies - it’s just a look at what happens when companies don’t deliver, with real world experiences. If this is you, please reach out! (2/2)

Personally, this scares me. As a member of the New Zealand public it scares me that there are less journalists holding power to account, asking the hard questions and ensuring the world is fair for the little guys. That is the Journalist’s job. If Journos can’t do that, who can?

The closure of Fair Go, Sunday & Newshub is a terrible loss to the media industry - the media needs a diverse range of voices. Journalists speak, & advocate for the public and now that will be significantly harder to do. What a terrible day for media & for everyone in New Zealand

Love to see a hateful intent recreated to a show of support! Being able to share stories of rainbow joy, rather than rainbow hate, is always a pleasure 💖🏳️‍🌈 'The reaction was swift': Support for rainbow community after crossing vandalised 1news.co.nz/2024/03/29/the-r…

I read this a few days ago before it was published and it’s stuck with me. Just so we are clear, it’s brilliant, talented journalists like Mava that are at risk of being let go from TVNZ. The journo industry in NZ is in a crisis and something needs to happen, fast.

So heartbroken for my @SundayTVNZ whānau and everyone affected by the cuts at TVNZ. Also heartbroken for the people that shows like Sunday service. The voiceless, the vulnerable. Sad day for journalism, sad day for our democracy.

(P1) The loss of @efesocollins is significant and terrible, and my deepest condolences are with his whānau and the Green Party. He will be sorely missed by his communities and those he fought with, for and beside. That being said, thoughts go out to those who were present…

(P2) …when he suffered his medical event- that is incredibly scary to see, and bare witness to. I actively encourage all those in the area, including my journalist colleagues, to reach out if you need support. The EAP programme, editors, your family…

(P3) …there are people around to help navigate the thoughts and feeling that come up from seeing something like this. Please reach out for help. Rest in peace and love, Efeso. 💚
