Mediawatch for 24 March 2024

From Mediawatch, 9:05 am on 24 March 2024

Mediawatch looks at the fallout from Winston Peters' criticism of the media in his State of The Nation speech - and an unlikely stand-off with an English punk band.  

Also, the death of Rod Oram. The team looks at a broadcaster falling foul of discrimination and denigration rules - and when politicians say the news media must innovate to survive, what does that really mean?  

The government has warned struggling news media companies not to expect subsidies or bailouts. The PM told reporters last week they must innovate to survive.
