Chasing Clickbait, Closing Ranks - Is Journalistic Integrity On the Cutting Room Floor

Andrew Urquhart discusses the troubling behaviour within New Zealand's media, particularly regarding a slow-breaking news story involving TVNZ's political editor. He highlights the reluctance of journalists to address misconduct, raising questions about accountability and the ethics of the press.

He notes that the story only gained traction after a right-wing commentator published it, prompting a response from mainstream media. Andrew emphasises the need for a more robust and ethical approach to journalism, suggesting that the current media landscape may be too constrained to hold itself accountable effectively.
