NZ Media Watch

January 20th, 2024

NZ Media Watch was formed in March, 2023 in response to mainstream media's biased reporting of the Let Women Speak event in Auckland. TV3’s Newshub fabricated news implying that Kelly-Jay Keen was a Nazi sympathizer and then later removed that videofootage from their website. Q&A Presenter, Jack Tame downplayed the violence at the event and referred to it as "argy-bargy" even though an elderly woman was savagely assaulted and police actively ignored the violence. That event illustrated the demise of journalistic integrity in New Zealand mainstream media and so we began investigating other news stories discovering bias and the failure to report honestly to the New Zealand public.

By asking, “What is the counter view to this news story?” We’ve discovered propaganda to a level that would have made Goebbels proud such as the former Labour Government promoting 3 Waters which was the anti-democratic privatisation of water resources as described by Chantelle Baker or TVNZ news stories by Te Aniwa Hurihanganui that promote Te Parti Maori and Co-governance which are again, anti-democratic and extremist views of what the Treaty of Waitangi means. In conjunction with other open source journalists, we’ve taken on the role to educate the public to the other side of the news stories they see on television.

Though NZ Media Watch journalists wish to remain anonymous for safety reasons, it'simportant to know our backgrounds to have an understanding of why we volunteer our timeand resources for free:

• The Founder, has worked in News media on a local and national level for over adecade and has also taught media at tertiary level. He provides the quick analysisof news stories posted on social media and also produces our long form stories inconjunction with open source freelance journalists.
• Our open source freelance journalists provide story ideas, video footage andinterviews that are included in our media releases and long form media. They arethe ones on the “front line” and frequently get threatened but are adamant to reportthe truth.
• Advisers from media, academia and business liaise with us regarding our stories.NZ Media Watch is still evolving. As we get larger, and more experienced, we expect tocreate more regular content and seek funding to create more long form content. Ourprimary goal is to make it uncomfortable for mainstream media to keep lying because theyknow we will be watching and reporting.
