This report authored by Colin Peacock, who has hosted Radio New Zealand's Mediawatch programme, is an assessment of BSA decisions from a journalist's perspective.

The report addresses the following questions:

  • What is the Authority getting right from journalists' perspective – and what is it getting wrong?
