The Government has confirmed the establishment of a four-member ministerial advisory group to investigate the establishment of a Public Media Funding Commission. The Labour Government has placed public broadcasting as a top priority for them this term especially when it comes to how public media is funded. Minister Claire Curran says a well-resourced public media is necessary to tell our stories and inform our democracy and that she wants to be sure we have the right framework for a resilient and sustainable New Zealand broadcasting system. Sam Smith spoke to the minister about the new advisory group and the state of public media.
