Thread: Nicole Mckee on the Project NZ

As far as 'balanced, investigative journalism goes, NZ journalists are less than honest about what 'studies' they undertake to get a journalism degree.
Having seen the result of supposed 'investigative journalism' in action, I'm disgusted that the general public accept this 'infotainment' as gospel.
It reflects on the dumbing down of our education system, where 'questioning' of the process by both parents and the degreed 'geeks' who develop our education programs, is ignored by the Gov't, who appear to treat constructive criticism as a personal attack on the current Minister.
Either there is a vitriolic attack on the questioner (Rob Muldoon), or a John Keys style deflection and non-answer, that satisfies the unprepared journo.
Our university teachers (with an academic 'white tower' mentality), needs to stop kowtowing to the Gov't, in pursuit of funding for studies of irrelevant activities, that have little or no relevance to the real world.
Our major problem is the Press and the 'creative number generator's' who represent our law enforcement.
The press (the uncapitalised word is my interpretation of the skills shown), depend on sensationalism - after all, falling ratings reflect on the paper/TV station, and the ability of these 'august bodies' to generate income from advertisers.
The mighty $ rules, not true journalism.
