06'30" MEDIAWATCH presented by Colin Peacock. Topics: Editor of The Press in Christchurch, Paul Thompson, interviewed about reporting suicides (he believes the convention of reporting "no suspicious circumstances" should be changed to be able to say more directly "suspected or apparent suicide"), then head of Journalism at Canterbury University, Jim Tully, (who is conducting a review of reporting of suicides) comments.
13'45" Television producers/directors angry that TVNZ is commissioning only one drama series (Makatu, developed over two seasons on TV3) this year. Russell Brown talks to the chairman of the NZ On Air board, Don Hunn, about whether NZOA should get the TVNZ dividend to fund this.
