Midweek Mediawatch: A nationwide delirium

From Mediawatch, 9:36 am on 18 March 2021

In this week's Midweek Mediawatch, Hayden Donnell talks to Karyn Hay about the media's delirious coverage of Team NZ's America's Cup win, a trashy bit of Australian reporting, and Google's latest moves to fund news.

Team New Zealand's skipper Peter Burling (C) holds the America's Cup, affectionately known as the Auld Mug, after winning the 36th America's Cup against Luna Rossa Prada in Auckland on March 17, 2021.
