Book Cover

Before and beyond the NZBC

Ever since broadcasting was established in New Zealand nearly 80 years ago, it has been subject to intense political scrutiny and a number of major restructurings.

This book focuses on the historical emergence of news and controversial programming and structures of political control and influence over the public broadcasting system.

It explores issues of continuing political relevance:

- the independence of broadcasting, and
- accountability.
