Jack Tame interviews Broadcasting Minster Willie Jackson on the media merger and public trust. Answering questions about why the establishment board appeared to be excessively secretive, Jackson told Tame “you’ve” - meaning Tame and TVNZ - “got representatives on the establishment board”. “You’re hammering every part of this entity,” Jackson complained - and of course Tame was - that’s the whole point. There are arguments to be made in favour of the new public media entity, some of which point out flaws in the current model. Public media must bite the hand that feeds - this morning, Tame devoured Jackson whole.
