Media3 is a place for lively, intelligent discussion about media matters with the people who produce media in New Zealand -- and the people who find themselves the subject of media stories.

  • 1Produced in 1990, Frontline: For The Public Good [29/04/1990] was a documentary that set out to establish links between the fourth Labour Government and powerful business figures. The backlash to the programme was swift and brutal. However, despite its flaws, the documentary exposed actions that, although legal at the time, troubled many observers. The documentary is revisited here tonight.
