Commentary
Only two stories the same tonight with the missing 16 year old, Hayden Miles and the Northland fires. 3 News had an exclusive interview with the helicopter pilot’s family.
Patrick Gower’s story only covered the potential negative aspects of a change in leadership within the Maori Party and none of the potential positives. At the same time, the Labour Party leadership changes are being reported as a potentially positive rejuvenation. Prior to this election, it was common knowledge that Pita Sharples would be retiring at the next one. Phil Goff, on the other hand, never hinted that there would be a change of leadership within the Labour Party after the election. What is the big surprise here then? And isn’t straight after an election the best time to make changes? What is the media’s agenda in presenting the stories like this?
