I dont like to stoop to the childish antics somectrolls on here do posting photoshopped pics of Trump etc.... but man did she look uncomfortable in that interview about the protest.
She was buggered as there was no way for her to spin a narrative directing away from her failures about the whole event

In the last forty years just eight foreign leaders have been invited to give the Harvard commencement address, and now Jacinda. This is a huge honour for the PM but our news media are taking it very calmly. They'd rather write silly pieces about the Festival atmosphere outside Parliament. Once again I'm struck by the thought that with so few jobs for journalists, you'd think the standard would be very high. Sadly it's not.

Journalism in NZ is a minimum wage job and you’ll write about what the editor directs you to do after he’s had his orders.
For the freelancers not much happens in NZ of high value and the cost of travel restricts only the two majors to quickly getting on scene. Even then some fool will give their cellphone footage of a once in a lifetime event away for free.
Your right the standard is low even the sacred conventions of proper grammar and punctuation anandoned in chase to be first.
But when the health dept Is providing material for free they will save this for a slow news day which is likely the practise leading to their demise.
Often you will read about a new invention or escalating foreign conflict on likes of dailymail or RT news etc then our media will report it a week later like it was just discovered today

You mean to say New Zealand Journalists think that New Zealanders care more about New Zealand issues than Stalinda swanning around on the international stage?!?

Say it ain't so!

On a different note, My condolences to Harvard Students.

The journos heads prob spinning about her going to a white male dominated institution with links to skull and Bo’ness Illuminati and bush dynasty etc

Both Chows and Keys are experts at having people fucked for money. A match made in heaven.

Sounds like they know how to get things fucking done lol

All I wanna know is do I get mermaid or splash club vouchers if I erect a Stonewoody home

https://www.glassdoor.co.nz/Salaries...RCH_KO0,10.htm

So the national AVERAGE is $48,500 /yr

Minimum wage is $41,600/yr

Therefore the statement 'Most Journalists are on Minimum Wage' is absolutely correct.

Dis you actually fail reading? have another look at that page you posted.

Dis you actually fail reading? have another look at that page you posted.

See what Husa posted - Trademe jobs 42K-85K.

If the Average is 48K and the minimum is 41.5K, that means that there is a heavy skew towards the lower end.

Or to put it another way - a few really good journalists make big bucks, Most are on Minimum Wage - which is what R650 said.

Now, sure there are other positions in the field that can command a higher salary, but that isn't what we are talking about.

Or if you'd prefer a different source:

https://www.payscale.com/research/NZ...rnalist/Salary

10th percentile is $40K, 50th percentile is 50K, 90th percentile is 70K.

Fairfax Media Visual Journalist

Seen that job title bandied around quite a bit over the last few days. I guess they must get paid more than a photographer does?
