NZ On Air announces changes
BODY:
NZ On Air has announced a major change to the way it funds local content. From next July, it will move to a single public media fund, covering many types of content for different audiences. This will replace its multiple funds and strategies that currently exist. Kathryn Ryan speaks to Chief Executive Jane Wrightson.
EXTENDED BODY:
Media funding agency NZ On Air has announced changes to the way it funds local content and plans to move to a single public media fund.
Last year NZ On Air spent around $135 million on supporting local content on television, radio and online, as well as local music.
The agency has been criticised for giving too much funding to television projects selected by a small group of commissioners and programmers that broadcast to shrinking audiences.
NZ On Air chief executive Jane Wrightson said the new NZ Media Fund will have four streams and allow the organisation to remain flexible and relevant in a fast-changing, converging media environment and replace its multiple funds and strategies that have begun to overlap.
"We're introducing a simple, flexible strategy that will allow more innovation and introducing a single fund, called the New Zealand Media Fund, that has four funding streams: scripted, factual, platforms and music."
Ms Wrightson said those bidding for the fund would need to ensure that their content would have an audience and to contribute financially as best they could, so the taxpayer did not have to fund the entire project.
"Our job is when we have a table of competing and great ideas to pick the best one that gives a diversity of content that otherwise wouldn't be made.
"At our core we are still about backing the best ideas, and providing content free to New Zealanders. But how we deliver this must be flexible enough to recognise a volatile media environment, and changing audience behaviour," said Ms Wrightson.
She said they were looking to fund content for both special interest and mainstream audiences and which had a public media ethos.
Ms Wrightson said a wider range of people were likely to be successful in applying for money from the new fund but they would need to ensure they delivered professional content that found its audience.
She said projects which received larger amounts of money would generally be expected to deliver larger audiences and most projects allocated more than $500,000 would go to free to air broadcasters, though that was a preference rather than a rule.
The funding agency is seeking feedback before 18 November on the new strategy.
The final strategy will be released by early 2017 to take effect from July 2017.

"Easy win" marine sanctuaries could undermine conservation
BODY:
An expert in marine sanctuaries is warning huge marine protected areas like the one planned by New Zealand's government around the Kermadec Islands could actually be undermining conservation efforts. There has been huge uptick in efforts to seal off parts of ocean to fishing and mineral extraction recently, but Dr Peter Jones, an expert in marine protected areas at University College London, says they are being focused on remote parts of the ocean where very little fishing and drilling actually happens.

"They've got it right" - The Spinoff's response to NZOA changes
BODY:
Kathryn Ryan speaks to Duncan Greive of The Spinoff.
EXTENDED BODY:
One critic of previous NZ On Air funding choices, particularly some of the big-budget TV, was Duncan Grieve, founder of The Spinoff.
What do you make of what is proposed here?
I love it. It’s very necessary. You could argue it’s overdue. It’s the reform that audience behaviour has been crying out for for a number of years now. Obviously the document is not out yet, but by the sounds of it they’ve designed it for purpose, which is fantastic.
What are the biggest implications, though, for those who make what you might call ‘expensive’ content or have infrastructure? Are they going to be most vulnerable or susceptible to the opening up of funding this way?
Yeah. They’re gonna have to adapt or die – and some of them will. I just think we have to live with that because we can’t just continue to make content for audiences which are splintering and disappearing. NZ On Air doesn’t exist to perpetuate a New Zealand screen production industry. It exists to make content that audiences want and need.
Are we at risk of losing something else because there simply won’t be funding for it?
Yeah, we will. The thing that frustrates me about the citing of how great [the web series] High Road and Flat3 and so on are – those are 'labour of love' projects that were initially completely unfunded and have latterly been funded in a way that really doesn’t pay for anything more than some fixed costs, by comparison to some of these big-budget dramas… The fact remains that we’ve got one industry that is starving for funding and one that is completely underfunded. There’s a rebalancing act that we’re going through right now.
What of the journalism and the current affairs end of things?
That’s where NZ On Air has been forced – by circumstances and a market failure within journalism – into becoming a funder of journalism. They didn’t ask for that, but it’s sort of happened, and now they’re having to deal with it. I sense that they’re sort of reluctantly there, but I don’t think they have a choice.
Is it time for this funding to be opened up completely, the way it has been?
It is to me. I think we’ve got a bit of a generational split going on. Broadly speaking, people under 40 are predominantly consuming their media digitally now. We use the term ‘content’ because ultimately it’s all coming through the same medium, and its effect on you – whether it’s text, video or audio – is ultimately the same. We have this attachment to production values and ways of doing things that we’ve had before, but the audience doesn’t care about that. They simply care about the sentiment itself and its expression. The idea that we must continue to make drama or we must continue to make long-form current affairs, I think that’s only true in so far as the audience retains the demand for it.
Audienc-ES, we should say.
That is the nub of the immense challenge that faces NZ On Air in particular. They have to continue to serve that 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s cohort of the audience, which does behave relatively homogenously by comparison to the much younger one. Right now, if you were able to have a god view into this thing you’d see that a vast proportion of the funding was servicing that much older demographic which has enough in its favour already, in my opinion.
What about music? What do you make of what appears to the ring-fencing of music funding?
When music funding was reformed four years ago, it was reformed in the image of what we’ve now done with television and other forms of media. I applauded those reforms at the time and I think these are basically of a piece with them. The obsession with commercial radio will have to, I think, eventually die off. Obviously they’re moving towards focusing on streaming, which is obviously a harder nut to crack in some ways, but I think broadly they’re right to, having reformed music, leave it as it is. But there is definitely a still existing and acknowledged problem of once you make this great music how do you put that in front of an audience? I still don’t think they’ve figured that out.
What do you make of the way the commissioning process is going to happen?
That remains to be seen. I think it’s an immensely difficult job. You’re trying to weigh knowns and reliables with a downward curve in terms of the audiences’ age and so on. It is going to be immensely difficult and will demand extraordinary skill sets from those in charge of commissioning. But that’s kind of what we’re all doing out here in content creation land – these immensely complex jobs. I think there’s just no other way but through it.
Are you going to be able to bid for some funding?
We already have, if I’m honest, and we find out pretty soon if we’ve been successful. I love massive conflicts.
I didn’t know that. Thank you for the belated declaration of conflict of interest.
I need a standing line at the front of everything I do – “I’m a conflict-laden mess”.
Well, that kind of sums up the world today. Everyone has to be everywhere. It’s pretty difficult to avoid and it’s actually a component of all this.
Yeah. RNZ, ultimately, was also part of the NZ On Air funding sphere. We just have to declare it and live with it and try and get through this incredibly muddled era into whatever the future is going to look like with more stability, if it comes.

Amit Katwala: the athletic brain
BODY:
Contrary to what is assumed, its the brain not the body which decides when there has been enough physical exertion. Writer Amit Katwala has published a book on the neuroscience of sport and how the brain can be trained to improve sporting prowess and endurance. As well as a sports journalist he has a masters in experimental psychology from Oxford University. He talks with Kathryn Ryan about his book, The Athletic Brain.
EXTENDED BODY:
What separates professional athletes from the rest of us mere mortals? And can someone who hasn’t spent thousands of hours in physical training take a shortcut to sporting success through training their brain?
Journalist Amit Katwala investigates these questions with top athletes and scientists in his new book Athletic Brain.
Professional athletes stand apart in being true masters of anticipation and high-speed decision making, says Amit.
He gives as an example the English soccer player Wayne Rooney - “not the tallest or strongest or the quickest” – who made history with an overhead kick at the Manchester derby in 2011.
“He knew before any mortal person would have known exactly where the ball was going to go.”
First class batsmen are able to assess where the ball will go before it has left the bowler’s hand based on their body position in the run-up and the movement of their arm.
“If you put a special pair of glasses on one of the best batsmen in the world, say Brendon McCullum, and you used those glasses to shut off the batsman’s vision as the ball is released they’ll still be able to hit it.”
How can a person train more efficiently in the process of anticipation?
Amit says certain elements are genetic, such as excellent vision, but there are now tools such ipad apps and eye trackers.
“If you put eye trackers on the best athletes in the world and you look at where they look, that helps you out because it gives you a shortcut. You don’t have to put in the hours of practice to learn where to look – you can just look at where they look and use that information to guide your own training.”
A reliable ‘auto pilot’ mode is critical for an athlete, Amit says.
“It’s important for an athlete’s skills to be automatic because that means when they have to perform under pressure, those conscious thoughts don’t take away from the subconscious thoughts and the skill itself.”
What role does innate ability or talent play? Amit says it depends on the sport, but he leans more towards the nurture than nature, mentioning the frequency of pros starting practice at an ‘abnormally early’ age.
Something else all professional athletes share in high levels is ‘grit’ – a “slippery concept not linked to intelligence” Amit says. He defines grit as “the desire to overcome obstacles, the desire to keep going even when the going gets tough’.
So what is the relationship between ‘grit’ – which Amit says could be environmental and partly genetic and may relate to how our brains react to setbacks – and ‘choking’?
Amit says choking is a thing apart.
“What happens when you choke is something that should be automatic gets seized, gets hijacked by the conscious part of the brain again. You start overthinking it, you pay too much attention to what position your hand should be in or what position your feet should be in. Your movements which should that are supposed to be fluent and dynamic and kind of easy become clunky and awkward and stilted.
For years it was thought the body was a bit like a car that would keep going until it exhausted itself, Mr Amit says, but we now know the mind plays a much bigger role, operating a ‘handbrake’ which stops us from reaching our actual physical limits.
Endurance is related to how much work your brain thinks it’s done, not how much work your body has actually done.
“If you can manipulate your ‘perception of effort’ you can trick your brain into improving your endurance”.

Cats 'contributing to a sixth mass extinction'
BODY:
A new book has labelled cats as unrelenting killers and an invasive species that is contributing to a sixth mass extinction that could affect the whole planet.
EXTENDED BODY:
A new book has labelled cats as unrelenting killers and an invasive species that is contributing to a sixth mass extinction that could affect the whole planet.
Cat Wars: The Devastating Consequences of a Cuddly Killer was co- written by Peter P. Marra, director of the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center at the National Zoo.
"Inside, cats make excellent pets; loose on the landscape, they are - by no fault of their own - unrelenting killers and cauldrons of disease," he says.
The book traces the historical and cultural ties between humans and cats from early domestication to the current boom in pet ownership.
Mounting scientific evidence confirms, he says, that in the United States alone, free-ranging cats are killing birds and other animals by the billions.
“The densities of these cats is nothing like natural predator densities, song birds here for example experience all kinds of predation not just from a bob cat which would be the native species that was here at one time but racoons and squirrels and hawks - there’s a whole suite of predators.
“The problem is the domestic cat, those owned individuals that are allowed to go outside as well as un-owned individuals, are in extremely high densities.”
He says analysis from three years ago found cats kill between 1.3 and 4 billion birds per year and up to 15 billion mammals in the US.
“We can’t just be concerned about species when they’re threatened we really need to be concerned about them once they’re common.”
Equally alarming, he says, are the little-known public health consequences of rabies and parasitic toxoplasma passing from cats to humans at rising rates.

EXTENDED BODY:
When photographer Jenny O'Connor was heading towards the big 'Six O' she started reflecting on what it meant to be heading towards old age.
She embarked on a project to photograph 60-year-old women, 60 of them in fact, which resulted in a book, exhibition and stage show.
It was important for this series of photographs to be seen, because it's not often that we see "everyday" women in the media, Jenny says.
"We see a lot of older women these days talking about ageing and things, but they tend to be film stars or people who are well known. But this collection of women, which is up to over 70 women now, just every person who came my way, I took their photograph. I think that is what really strikes a chord with people."
Jenny initially photographed a few women, taking the time to sit down with them and learn more about their lives before turning the camera on them.
"The portrait was about being an expression of who they are right now, so it was really a snapshot in time, but when you hit our age, that moment in time is made up of everything you’ve ever been throughout your life."
The stories that the women told Jenny formed the basis of the book that was released.
"I started to realise that, really, rather than a one-off exhibition of just the images that I needed to capture the sense of these women and what their lives had been about.
"I asked each and every woman to write something for the book and I had absolutely no boundaries around that, I just let them write as little or as much as they wanted to say."
Working with the women on their portraits gave Jenny an intimate peek into the life stories and sensibilities of these women.
"What continues to blow me away is the sheer resilience of the human being, really. And women in particular because often they’re in the background, they go through so much in their lives and… it never fails to astound me."
Through her conversations, Jenny concluded that the lives of her generation are the same, but different from those of their mothers'.
"Most of us have done the usual things that women do in our nurturing role, but the other part of us has been the fact that we have been in that generation that saw so much social change in the world, we saw all the human rights issues aired and we protested.
"It is different, but I still think the reflection process you go through when you hit a milestone where you know the future is way shorter than the past, I think what I have noticed anyway is it is still mostly about family, mostly about relationships and those sorts of life experiences that shape us."
The Visible at 60 exhibition is currently on display in Palmerston North at Te Manawa.

A new book has labelled cats as unrelenting killers and an invasive species that is contributing to a sixth mass extinction that could affect the whole planet
Cat Wars: The Devastating Consequences of a Cuddly Killer was co- written by Peter P. Marra, director of the Smithsonian Migratory Bird Center at the National Zoo, who says "Inside, cats make excellent pets; loose on the landscape, they are - by no fault of their own - unrelenting killers and cauldrons of disease."

Man's tumour shrinks significantly following Opdivo
BODY:
Barry Hawes was the first person in New Zealand to receive the immunotheraphy drug Opdivo for free. That was in July and in the three months since his tumour has shrunk significantly.
EXTENDED BODY:
Three months ago, Barry Hawes, who has terminal melanoma, had just received the first publicly funded dose of immunotherapy drug Opdivo.
He was first diagnosed with melanoma on his arm 14 years ago, and this year had part of his tongue removed due to cancer. He also had a tumour on his heart.
In June, Pharmac announced it would fund the melanoma treatment.
The decision followed intense lobbying from cancer patients and their families, who said there were simply no other treatments available.
Funding immunotherapy treatment privately cost up to $150,000 a year.
But on 1 July, Mr Hawes became the first person in New Zealand to receive Opdivo for free.
"I had open heart surgery last week, and they opened me up and found the cancer had gone to my heart, so they sewed me up again and said they couldn't do anything with it," he told Checkpoint with John Campbell in July.
"Our oncologist said that the new drug was coming in, and that I'd been chosen to be the first infusion."
Three months on and 12 Opdivo infusions later, Mr Hawes' tumour has shrunk dramatically.
"We're very happy that we're in the situation that we're in today. Couldn't ask for better news," Mr Hawes said.
"I feel very privileged to be the first one to be given the treatment - and I'm sure there will be others who have had it after us who are in the same boat."
His wife, Anne Hawes, was equally delighted.
"At the beginning of July, when he had the open heart surgery to have the tumour removed, they said they couldn't do anything, and we were all absolutely devastated.
"[Opdivo] was just this little beacon of hope there, and now that it's actually come to fruition, it's just been marvellous. We're absolutely thrilled to bits."
Mr Hawes said things could be very different, had they needed to fund the drug themselves.
"That would be a very big decision to make whether we actually went ahead with the treatment, with the costs."
Mr Hawes said they planned on going out for a celebratory lunch next week, and had popped the bubbles last night.
"We'd like to take a holiday once this is all behind us, so that's what we're hoping for," added Anne.
"It's nice to be able to look forward, just one day at a time, and on a tough day it would be one hour at a time, but now we can look forward with more hope, and that's a great gift."
Pharmac has since also started funding another melanoma drug, Keytruda.
Mr Hawes has another six infusions planned, and another scan in 12 weeks.
