Ahiahi mārie, welcome to The Spinoff Daily in partnership with the Brain Drink, Ārepa. Today on The Spinoff, Charlotte Muru-Lanning leads a blind taste test of supermarket Christmas pies, Chris Schulz talks to 3/4 of Deceptikonz (they’re back!) and Tara Ward watches Shortland Street go up in flames. But first, Duncan Greive looks back over a chaotic year of stories in New Zealand’s media.
“These are what I, subjectively, think were the 10 biggest stories in New Zealand media this year. They run the gamut from employment disputes which felt deeply personal to changes which are as impactful as any in decades. In between there are many which are small windows into far bigger issues. They collectively reveal an industry undergoing huge change, with skilled practitioners working in deeply unfavourable circumstances, yet still managing to get extraordinary work done.” This ranking draws on this week’s episode of The Fold with Mediawatch’s Hayden Donnell:
