The live stream of the Journalism, Media & Democracy 2016 Media Ownership Report yielded an incredible insight to how precarious the current state of journalism really is.
Dr Wayne Hope gave an impressive oversight and review of how financial institutions have corrupted and influenced media ownership and the author of the report, Merja Myllylahti, shocked everyone when she noted that currently NZME is 86% owned by Banks.
When the Banks own you, those writing opinion pieces outside of that paradigm don’t tend to get hired.
Watch the entire event, and ask yourself if we can trust a media who are so compromised.
