Stuff s head of video/audio ad content partnerships, Carol Hirschfeld who has over 30 years of experience in media says “it is the first time Māori journalists have come together to provide support to each other and talk about the issues specific to Māori in both mainstream media and Māori media.” “I think the fact that we are finally forming this collective is a sign New Zealand is really changing and that Māori stories are coming to the forefront of our news agenda much more.” Desperate need for Māori managers

“The problem with the culture wars / Is everything becomes a fight / And if Dr Seuss were alive today / He’d say this issue isn’t black and white.
But not everyone here was brushing off those books being eased out of the catalogue.
Last week Newshub reported National Party Taranaki-King Country MP Barbara Kuriger took aim at would-be censors in rhyme on Facebook. Alas they ve come for Dr Seuss / They wish to hang him with a noose.”

Review: He’ll Be Right deftly challenges what it means to be a modern man
Review
Tackling topics such as rugby and body image, Stuff’s latest podcast shines a much-needed light on Aotearoa’s complex relationship with masculinity, writes Trevor McKewen, author of the book Real Men Wear Black.
I wasn’t sure what to think when two episodes of the new local podcast He’ll Be Right landed in my inbox. My daughter sent them to me and asked me to listen and share my views.
He’ll Be Right co-host John Daniell, pictured in 2018, at his home in Auckland.
A few years ago, I was having a drink with a friend and, having recently interviewed her father for a story, I mentioned how much I admired him. He’d run national and international organisations with success, had become rich enough to buy multiple beautiful properties and had now taken early retirement in an idyllic part of the world, all off the back of relatively humble beginnings as a teacher. And he seemed to be a great bloke. His only child had a different view. “Actually,” she said, “he’s made a mess of his life. He’s done all these big jobs and made all this money and now he realises that the one thing he really wants is to have a good relationship with me, but it’s too late. We don’t know each other.”
