With 60% of our newsrooms now female, the lens of woke identity seems to be all that matters. Today’s latest example however takes that lens of woke identity and has instead manufactured our first ‘Purity of Identity’ journalism. I’ve argued and have used example after example of how the woke newsrooms covered Carmel Sepuloni’s rise as Deputy. Which is deeply problematic because a critical analysis of Carmel Sepuloni’s time as Social Welfare Minister highlights how shallow The Spinoff, Stuff and NZ Heralds ‘journalism’ is. What better way to undermine a new welfare Minister than busting their mum for fraud?
