Opinion
On Friday, The Gisborne Herald ran a piece with the tagline: RNZ’s First Up reporter Leonard Powell went on a road trip from Whakatāne around the East Cape to test the tone of the East Coast’s towns.
Mr Powell stopped at exactly how many towns?
One — Tokomaru Bay.
And how many people did he interview? Three — one of whom was obviously pre-arranged.
Journalism? Not in my 40-odd years in the news business.
