FOURTH ESTATE. 08/07/1988

“Tonight’s contributor is Helen Paske. Helen began her career in journalism as a proof reader at the Dominion. She has since worked as a sub editor on the Sydney Morning Herald, and as Chief Sub Editor on the New Zealand Sunday Times. Helen is currently assistant editor of the New Zealand Listener.”

Helen Paske comments on news media. This week Paske looks at corrections in New Zealand newspapers, and compares Editor’s attitudes towards publishing corrections to stories. Editors are generally not agreeable about a regular corrections column, as they do in America.
