Listen "McBlog: BSA Survey Has Bad News For Media"

Episode Synopsis

Last week the Broadcasting Standards Authority thought they would do a survey “exploring public expectations around news content and factors that may help improve trust in New Zealand’s news media.” You and I could probably have saved them the survey money (which is taxpayer money, by the way), because we already know the answer. But it was what the survey told the BSA about where we get our news from that should be really worrying our legacy media. The news media are losing trust, they’re losing the next generation, and they’re doing everything they can to lose respect.
