Is the fourth estate failing? In this episode, Andrew Urquhart examines the state of journalism in New Zealand: media bias, declining public trust, and accountability. Featuring insights from Bob McCoskrie, Thomas Scrimgeour (Maxim Institute), and Rev. Dr Stuart Lange, we ask: can media regain integrity and what does the Bible say about truth in reporting?
