Ali was one of NZ's most high profile broadcasters and journalists for more than two decades and worked for One News, Breakfast, Fair Go, Seven Sharp, Radio Live, Close up and many more.In this episode we talk about her rise to the top of NZ Media and all of the twists and turns along the way, getting made redundant five times and how she kept bouncing back, why her relationships became front page news of every media outlet, working with Paul Holmes, Mike Hosking, Paul Henry and Willie Jackson, leading the charge on NZ's MeToo movement - and what she's doing now.We also talk in detail about her new book No Words for This, where she talks for the first time about the monster that haunted her childhood. As young girls, Ali and her sister were sexually abused by their father on multiple occasions, and it's revealed in the book that he also repeatedly raped his grandson. It's a shocking, and confronting story that is told with the hope of helping others.Ali's story is complex and powerful and she does such a great job of articulating it. And she is brilliant company, warm fun and engaging.And a content warning: This episode deals with sexual abuse and may not be suitable for all listeners. Hosted on Acast.

In Leaders Getting Coffee episode 36, our guest is TVNZ CEO, Jodi O’Donnell. She took over as the CEO of TVNZ just a few months before having to front the announcement of the company’s disastrous financial result, a process that ultimately led to a restructuring programme that included the loss of loved TV shows such as Fair Go and Sunday. Despite her baptism of fire, Jodi O’Donnell is remarkably open about discussing those early days in the job she has now occupied for a little over a year. And she seems comfortable in taking on the challenge ahead. And so she should be. O’Donnell has been at the flagship state owned television company for almost her entire career, twenty five years in total. Refreshingly, she comes from the sales and marketing side of the TV business, a commercial upbringing that sees her unapologetically focussed on the customers, both advertisers and viewers. During the Leaders Getting Coffee podcast Jodi covers topics such as the government ownership model, the importance of winning trust from viewers and the recent merger talks with Radio New Zealand. And she talks about the challenges to the 6pm news hour, the dearth of international news coverage, and the challenge of getting the balance right. And she is remarkably frank about her early days in the role and those decisions to cut top ten programmes in order to ensure that the business was set up as a media business fit for the rapidly changing future. Jodi O’Donnell is the leader of a business that is, perhaps, the most influential in the land, and one which is critical to the effective functioning of our democracy. Her story will leave you certain that she is up to the task.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Reporters, producers, camera people and presenters at TVNZ are all in line to lose their jobs. The state owned broadcaster told staff of its plans to cut a net 50 Jobs at a series of meetings today. The station has said it needs to save $30 million. The cuts follow an earlier round of redundancies and the axing of Fair Go and the current affairs programme Sunday. TVNZ declined Checkpoint's request for an interview. E tu union negotiator Michael Wood spoke to Lisa Owen.

Some principals fear new literacy and numeracy tests needed to pass NCEA will mean a backlog of students having to repeat years at school and some dropping out altogether. The NCEA co-requisites are new tests that students have to pass from this year onwards, aimed at measuring reading, writing and maths levels in schools. Students need to achieve the tests along with their other credits to achieve any level of NCEA. However, in the pilot programme, pass rates for low decile schools were abysmal, with decile 1 schools achieving less than 30 percent on average in reading, writing and numeracy, Luka Forman reports.

When I landed in Australia in 1995, I was immediately struck by the concept of a “fair-go” being right at the heart of the Australian psyche. But more recently it appeared to me that this was becoming something of a myth, as inequality and poverty started to expand and impinge on people who previously were … Continue reading "Is The Australian “Fair Go” Broken?"

The fact the Government is going ahead with Labour's Fair Digital News Bargaining Bill, albeit with amendments, is not the story.  The fact ACT has played the “Agree to Disagree" card is not really the story.  The real story is the question of, does it solve the problem?  What exactly is the problem?  The problem is the media, or at least parts of it, are in a financial hole and have decided that if only we get Facebook and Instagram to the table and get them to give us some money, we can bring back Fair Go or hire back a journalist or two.  If only it were that easy.  There is universal agreement in media that the social media giants are taking money out of the market and there is general agreement that that is pretty much unfair, given they monetise someone else's work.  The fact the media outlets use Facebook etc to pump their service and outlets and digital views doesn't get quite as widely covered.  But let's not interrupt the David and Goliath narrative flow and kill the buzz.  Should Facebook cut a deal? Probably.  Have they elsewhere? Sort of, but not really.  In Canada it hasn't worked well. The Government has ended up handing out money to news organisations after services got turned off.  Australia is in the middle of striking another deal which may or may not work. The Government are under pressure from places like Channel 9 and 7, who are laying off people by the hundred.  It all boils down to the idea of whether a social media giant needs New Zealand. Do they care enough to pay?  This Government can pass a law and introduce arbitration until they are blue in the face.  We are trying to make them pay the same way social media giants aren't supposed to allow extremists and dangerous material online, or lure impressionable teenagers to spend their life scrolling. Have those laws worked?  How many American and European investigations and committee question and answer sessions do you want to see where politicians act tough for the camera? Mark Zuckerberg might stand up and apologise to grieving families, but has it worked?  Yes, we have a problem. But do we have a solution?  It's probably worth the exercise, but don't be remotely surprised if in the real world it achieves next to nothing. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this week's edition of Midweek Mediawatch, Hayden Donnell talks to Emile Donovan about the government's latest reason for not funding 13 cancer drugs, a mammoth loss expected at TVNZ, AI faking the news and even our contemporary history  - and a slight directed at the Ōtaki Today.

Midweek Mediawatch - Colin Peacock talks to Emile Donovan about Fair Go and Sunday coming to a sad but dignified end this week at TVNZ, as the broadcaster itself copped criticism for its handling of the redundancies and closures. Also: a complaint against a newspaper's controversial coverage of roading and new offerings from RNZ.  

Last night was the final episode of Fair Go, one night after long-running current affairs show Sunday also finished up - both shows the victim of cost-cutting at TVNZ. Consumer New Zealand chief executive Jon Duffy spoke to Corin Dann.

Is the union getting the win over TVNZ in their desire to lay some people off really a win?  When TVNZ sacked me many years ago, a lot of people advised me to fight them. They said I had a good case and would win.  My argument was, why on earth would I fight someone who doesn't want to employ me? So, we negotiated a cheque and I wandered on my way.  Fast forward 25-odd years and the scenario is slightly different. TVNZ is in a world of financial pain, and they need to do something about it.  And that's the key to all this. They will do something about it, because they can't afford not to.  The fact they didn't, according to the bloke at the tribunal was because they failed on one of the myriad of clauses in what is clearly a fairly complex collective agreement, doesn't actually mean anything changes.  All that's happened is they will go back to the boardroom, meeting room, whatever room they yack about these things in, and re-litigate what has already been litigated.  The people involved get nothing other than more pain and a delayed inevitability and that's before you get to the irony that the two programmes at the centre of this, Fair Go and Sunday, have finished this week anyway.  This has played out the way it has because unions need to be seen to be doing something. This was a move by the unions to make the unions look like it might be worth you paying your sub.  The warning, I would have thought, is it was driven by Michael "light rail" Wood, who has taken his inability to do a lot productive at national-political level and channelled it back into industrial scraps with tribunals.  None of this helps anyone.   At the end of the day, business is business and if the business is in trouble, which it is, miracles, bright ideas and concessions are dealt with very early on in the process.  No business sets out to do what TVNZ has done because they are bored, or devoid of tapping into all possible ideas.  We are at the end of the line.  As they got to that line they erred, according to the adjudicator of erring.  Michael Wood might feel it's a win, but then Michael Wood has a job.   Let's see how many of those he saves by delaying the inevitable. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TVNZ is being forced to go into mediation after cancelling high profile shows including Sunday and Fair Go.

The Finance Minister says there is no plan to "save" major media outlets in their current form.  Newshub staff have been summoned to a meeting today about an "important business update", after learning last week that the news service will close with the loss of 300 jobs.  TVNZ has also announced significant cuts including the end of its Fair Go and Sunday programmes.  Nicola Willis told Mike Hosking that while Media Minister Melissa Lee is looking into the issue, she isn't working on a salvation plan.  She says the Government isn't going to come in on a white horse and rescue the media industry.  Willis says the challenges facing the media industry go right to the digitisation of the way people are receiving news.  LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Shortland Street is now apparently in trouble. TVNZ has just confirmed it is reviewing whether it carries on with Shortland Street. It's still a popular show, but unfortunately it's very expensive to make and very expensive for TVNZ to buy. And given TV audiences are down to about a third of what they were about 15, 25 years ago -it won't be bringing in the advertising dollars it used to. It's not always obvious, when you're in the middle of a moment in history, just how important that moment is. Sometimes it only occurs to you afterward, when you look back, just how much changed at that moment. New Zealand is in a moment like that. We are eradicating in the next few weeks some of the biggest TV shows that we make in New Zealand- about New Zealand. Newshub, the AM Show, Ryan Bridge's due-to-be-launched 7 o'clock show, Newshub Nation, Paddy Gower Has Issues, Newshub late, Sunday, Fair Go, the TVNZ midday bulletin, the TVNZ late news and maybe even Shortland Street now- or maybe reducing how much it plays out in a week. And look, that doesn't mean there are no New Zealand-made TV shows left. There's still Seven Sharp, Motorway Patrol, The Casketeers- the list goes on. But the dynamics that are killing those other shows at the moment will, in the end, probably get the rest of them too. And what that means is that we see less and less of ourselves as Kiwis on screen. And that is a loss, because there is consensus that hearing and seeing your culture and your accent and your way of life reflected back to you on screen is affirming. It makes you proud of who you are. So remember this- because this isn't just another day in the media sector. This isn't normal, what's happening right now. In this moment of time, we are losing something we will probably never get back to the same extent, which is hours of Kiwi voices and faces on screen every day. And kids being born right now will probably grow up pretty much exclusively watching international content and hardly any New-Zealand made content. I'm not arguing this should be stopped. Frankly, if we want to keep New Zealand on screens, we need shows that New Zealanders want to watch, and that's clearly not happening. I'm just pointing out this is a big thing - and an unusual thing - that is happening right now. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Media Minister says the Broadcasting Act needs updating to ensure a level playing field. Warner Brothers Discovery has confirmed Newshub will shut July 5.

TVNZ has confirms it will stop production of Fair Go and its Midday and Tonight television shows in an effort to cut costs, however, the state broadcaster has accepted a proposal to keep some of its content, in digital form. Felix Walton reports. 

TVNZ confirmed on Tuesday that the long-running Fair Go programme will end in mid-May. Journalist and former presenter Ali Mau spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

Tonight on The Panel, Wallace and panellists Scott Campbell and Jennie Moreton discuss the Governments Attendance Action Plan tackling rising truancy in schools and TVNZ axing Fair Go.

There's a bright spot among major cuts at TVNZ. The state broadcaster has confirmed it's axing news and current affairs shows, Midday, Tonight and Fair Go. But it is proposing Fair Go's brand will continue on its digital platforms, with four new roles created. E Tu negotiations specialist, Michael Wood, says it is an improvement on the initial proposal. "I think some of the clear support from New Zealanders around this issue has contributed to that." Meetings are being held tomorrow discussing the future of current affairs show, Sunday. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Final decisions on cuts to Sunday and Re:News are yet to come, and there is a suggestion that Fair Go may continue in some form.

TVNZ staff will find out if they get to keep their jobs on Tuesday Morning, and viewers will find out if their favourite shows will still be on air after proposed cost-saving measures. In March, TVNZ suggested cutting up to 68 positions and four programs, including Sunday and Fair Go. E tu negotiation specialist Michael Wood spoke to Morning Report.

TVNZ has confirmed Fair Go - on air for 47 years - and news shows Midday and Tonight will cease next month. The future of Sunday will be confirmed tomorrow. Meanwhile a decision on alternatives to a proposal to close Newshub in June is expected tomorrow from its owner Warner Brothers Discovery.

With proposed job cuts at TV3's News Hub and TVNZ's Midday and Late News, and the loss of Sunday and Fair Go, is it possible for employers to 'do' redundancy well? The news of the proposed redundancies was delivered in very different ways to each newsroom, each coming as a huge shock to employees. Top employment lawyer Susan Hornsby-Geluk joins Susie with her take on how they each played out.

The media union is calling on TVNZ to come to the table to discuss proposed widespread cuts. The state broadcaster has announced proposed cancellations of Midday, Tonight, Fair Go and Sunday, with up to 68 jobs affected. Union E tū has raised concern on behalf its members about the changes and process. Negotiation Specialist Michael Wood says it's dangerous for the national media platform to dictate a top-down approach. "We're wanting TVNZ to halt its current proposals, which will gut news and current affairs from our public broadcaster- and come sit down with its staff to talk about the future of the company." TVNZ says it'll respond to the letter in due course. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

TVNZ has proposed big cuts to news that could leave the country with only one daily TV news bulletin and almost no current affairs on TV within weeks.

The upheaval within the television industry continued this week, with TVNZ announcing cuts to its news and current affairs department on Friday. It's not just news bulletins proposed to be cut, but also flagship shows such as Sunday and Fair Go. It's a devastating time for those involved, and another brutal hit to the industry on top of the shock announcement of Newshub's proposed demise last week. I've been involved in the media for 28 years, and for 26 years colleagues with more experience have been telling me the industry would soon be unrecognisable. Admittedly, a lot has changed in those 28 years, especially in television. There have been too many restructures, strategy shifts and changes to programming priorities to list; but amazingly the demise of traditional free-to-air commercial television never quite came the way it had been prophesised. Until now. I'm amazed at both how long it took - it's hung in well all things considered – and at the industry's defiance; which is why I'm a bit taken aback that the hit has finally come. But here's the thing. The challenges facing media, and in particular television, have been known for decades. We have known there aren't enough advertising dollars to support the number of media outlets. We have known that in the digital era, eyeballs are moving to smaller screens. We have known that digital simply can't be monetised like TV. We have known it's all changed. I was never in the heart of all the action, but I can remember over a decade ago there were conversations between TV3 and TVNZ about sharing news resources. These conversations didn't just start a few weeks ago. There were conversations about news bulletins, and how many we needed, there were conversations about to compete against streaming services and the need to offer digital streaming services as quickly as possible. So, has everything moved too slow? Did we hold on to a good thing for too long just because we could and not because we should? It's been an impossible balancing act, media know they need to be where the audience is growing on digital, they also know that they'll made less money as their audiences get there. And harder still, the money from television enables the investment in digital services. Restructures are hugely unsentimental beasts driven by the bottom line - they do not reflect the talent, work ethic or personality of those impacted. And it is concerning to see the journalists and shows that both hold our politicians and others to account and which reflect our unique place in the world have been the target of cuts. But any business owner will tell you that if your business is not in a solid position when a recession hits then you're already on the back foot, making the fight to survive harder. I can only hope, now that the blinkers are off and the brutal state of the media industry has been revealed, that the conversations about the industry's future leads to action. No more sitting on our hands as advertiser dollars head overseas to Meta, Google and fair payment is made in exchange for content. Let's speed up collaboration between state owned media – maybe with less consultants this time - and we see a more aggressive transition to being competitive in this new landscape.

Another crushing blow for the media industry today, with the confirmation that long running consumer affairs show Fair Go is being axed alongside current affairs programme Sunday, News at Midday and News Tonight. Around 68 staff were officially given the news this afternoon with TVNZ citing cost saving. It's understood employees were given a break down of what their shows cost, compared to the money they generated. Employment lawyer Barbara Buckett speaks to Lisa Owen.

A tough day ending in tears at TVNZ. The broadcaster has confirmed Sunday, Fair Go, and two news bulletins, Midday and Tonight, are to be axed. Chief executive Jodi O'Donnell delivered the news to her employees that some of them will likely lose their jobs, along with the programmes they work for. Staff say they're crushed, and devastated but ready to fight against the proposed cuts. Lauren Crimp has more.

Kevin Milne was the face of Fair Go for 27 years, and he speaks to Wallace Chapman and the panel about how he feels now the show is coming to an end.

TNVZ announced a raft of cuts yesterday, with nearly 70 members of staff facing the axe and Sunday, Fair Go, Tonight, and Midday all on the chopping block.  Kevin Milne was Fair Go's longest serving host, and finds the loss of the show to be a great shame not only personally, but for regular kiwis who will no longer have that weapon available to them.

It was an awful day in my household and office yesterday, as TVNZ joined its free-to-air mates at Warner Brothers Discovery in announcing massive cuts to news gathering operations.  My wife Mava is a reporter on Sunday, and for many, many years I've worked with the teams on Sunday, Fair Go, Tonight, and Midday. They are my colleagues and friends. As anyone in any industry who has gone through a restructure or been made redundant will know, it's a personally devastating thing to experience.  Perhaps I'm biased, but I do think the news business is a bit different to other businesses. I think it contributes to the strength of our democracy and the vibrancy of our society in ways that can't be measured on a balance sheet. I think it celebrates and reflects us, and I think well-resourced journalism is our single most effective check on power.  When it comes to the TV business, it's clear the traditional economic models are no longer fit for purpose. In the digital age, traditional TV plays a less prominent role in our lives than it once did. Advertising dollars move from the telly to the likes of Google and Meta, instead. The gazillions they make in profits are mostly shipped offshore.  Of course, people in my industry should have seen this coming. And for the most part they have. I'm not saying there aren't things they couldn't have done differently, innovations they could and should have made, but ultimately the force of those digital giants is irrepressible. Trying to save free-to-air commercial TV, with quality news, current affairs, and local programming, in a country with five million people... is like trying to bail out the Titanic with an empty ice cream container. I'm not aware of any comparable broadcast markets where they've managed to pull it off.  TV and moving pictures still have a certain magic. Radio has intimacy. But TV is the only medium where you can both hear the crack in the politician's voice and see the flash in their eyes when a hypocrisy is exposed. At moments of national or international significance... natural disasters, pandemics, we can get information from several sources, but for the collective experience, we still turn to telly.  And there is an extra power that comes with TV currents affairs. Think about the kinds of stories that have been exposed in New Zealand. I remember as a kid in Christchurch, when the doctor Morgan Fahey was exposed by TV3's 20/20 for sexually abusing his patients. I was eleven years old and I remember it. It was profound, devastating journalism... a story which has stuck in my head for more than 25 years.  Consider Kristin Hall and Sunday's extraordinary recent investigation into emergency housing in Rotorua. News reports about that issue popped up from time to time on various news websites, but it took moving pictures, careful storytelling, meticulously-produced, expensive current affairs, to drive home the full scale and significance of those abuses. It took the power of telly to affect change.  If we value these things, one way or another we have to pay for it. From a purely economic perspective, if the commercial model is broken, the only other real viable option is a regulatory response.  Of course I'm biased, but I'd argue the value of journalism should be measured in more than dollars and cents. Maybe you disagree. Maybe you think a number of newish, small, independent, digital outlets fills the gap left by the shows that are dying. I think I'd be more open to that argument if the overall number of journos in New Zealand wasn't massively, steadily dropping.  The traditional TV companies might be poor, but without something meaty in place of Newshub, Sunday and Fair Go, our society and our democracy are poorer too. And by the very nature of the work they do and the vital stories they tell, we will never know what we have lost. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Attention's flicked to another channel with TVNZ announcing almost seventy people could lose their jobs. It comes a week after Newshub revealed plans to shut down its news and current affairs division in June, with declining ad revenue making it financially unsustainable. 300 hundred people could be made redundant. Checkpoint understands that TVNZ staff working on Sunday, Fair Go, the youth news platform RE:, and the late news bulletin, tonight have been called to meetings tomorrow and advised to bring a support person. TVNZ Chief Executive, Jodi O'Donnell has told staff tough economic conditions mean difficult choices need to be made. Last week the state broadcaster posted a loss of almost 17 million dollars for the previous six months. Today we asked people on the streets of Auckland where they get their news. E Tu Negotiation Specialist, Michael Wood speaks to Lisa Owen.

In the latest blow to the media industry, TVNZ is looking to cut up to 68 jobs - or nine percent of its staff. RNZ understands Re: News, Fair Go and Sunday are likely to be affected, with meetings scheduled this morning for staff from those divisions. A hui with all TVNZ news and current affairs employees is also expected to be held on Friday. This comes after Newshub announced last week that it would axe its entire news operation. Former journalist with both TVNZ and Newshub Amanda Millar spoke to Ingrid Hipkiss.

First it was Newshub, now it's TVNZ. We are still waiting on the details- staff have been told there will be 68 job losses, but the rest they'll find out tomorrow. The speculation in the media is that half of those job cuts will be in the newsroom. Fair Go and Sunday reportedly will be merged, Breakfast and Seven sharp are affected, as is the late bulletin. Shortland Street will be cut down to three nights a week at some point, and the main news bulletin will reportedly be cut down to 30 minutes, but nothing is confirmed right now. To be honest, if they want to save the ship, that is how brutal they need to be, particularly with that bulletin. That thing needs to be cut in half. When I first started working at TVNZ slightly less than 20 years ago, senior news bosses were already talking about needing to do that. It is well overdue. And it's actually not unusual internationally to have shorter news bulletins. The Germans have a 15 minute bulletin at 8pm, In the UK, the BBC News at Six is half an hour, it happens all around the world. Seven Sharp, it they want to be brutal, should probably be cut altogether- you can probably buy a half-hour programme from overseas for much cheaper to put in that slot. I don't say this because I want this to happen, I don't want less news on TV. I don't want less New Zealand content on screens. But we need to be realistic, people are turning the TV off. And TVNZ cannot keep spending this much money on a product that fewer and fewer people want to use. It's not sustainable to keep pumping the same amount of money in when you're getting less from it. It's a little bit like the postal service. Fewer and fewer people are using it nowadays, so it has to change and trim the budget to reflect the demand. You don't get post delivered five days a week anymore, you get it three days a week. And fewer people are watching the news, so it needs to cut costs. And actually not just the news, it's the whole of TVNZ. At some point, there will be so few people watching linear TV, we will have to pull the plug altogether. In the same way that one day we will have to stop the postal deliveries. There is some hope for TVNZ, they're going hard investing in TVNZ Plus- which is their online platform that's like the TVNZ version of Netflix. Maybe it'll work, maybe it won't. But while that is the future, linear TV is not. So these job losses, sadly, will not be the last. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Canada isn't the only nation squeezed by the symptoms of generational unfairness, and Gen Squeeze isn't the only organization squeezing back. To kick off our "We're not alone" miniseries, Paul Kershaw and Angie Chan spoke with Tom Walker, lead economist at Think Forward in Australia. Down under, Tom explains that younger generations are "doing it tough" too, faced with unaffordable housing, rising living and education costs, precarious jobs with declining wages, extreme weather -- all set against an ominous backdrop of one global crisis after another. Tom tells us how his organization is pushing for a parliamentary inquiry and a more fair tax system to invest in the collective wellbeing of young and old alike. "There's something that sits above all this: that persistent short-termism in our government outlook and the policy they make, and their lack of ability or courage to do meaningful reform to address any of these things," Tom says. "And an economic system which supports [older] people who are already wealthy... if you dump all your money into property, you pay less tax than someone who's working." Think Forward is the first voice we'll be bringing you from our international coalition of generational fairness champions, which launched the inaugural worldwide Intergenerational Fairness Day last month.

Today's young Australians will be the first generation to have lower living standards than their parents. With a housing system designed to generate wealth for older investors, a student debt avalanche spiralling out of control, and a welfare system pushing down wages, it is clear young Australians are struggling to make ends meet. Gabrielle Jackson talks to Guardian Australia's editor-in-chief, Lenore Taylor, and deputy live news editor, Jo Tovey, about the generational divide in the cost-of-living crisis
