Interesting tweet from NZ's go-to guy on national security matters.
Director Paul G. Buchanan will do interviews with media that do not put his quotes behind paywalls. When he agrees to make "public" statements, he means for all, not just those who can afford to pay to read them. Do not call if you pay-wall.

if media publishers and editors gave the merest fuck about ethics, we’d wouldn’t have this issue.
If we accept the current market incentives are not working to fix that, let’s regulate accordingly. If a media organisation does not want to behave like a responsible corporate citizen, they should lose some of their protections and privileges. Why not beef up the penalties for breaching standards? Hire immoral shitheads as managers and it will cost you.
It’s more that if this doesn’t work they may not have jobs soon.
In the meantime, I am happily donating to professional, responsible publishers like Newsroom, E-Tangata, Scoop, and this here platform of ours. Hopefully when Granny goes bust, between them they can afford to hire the good journos from behind the firewall. Everyone deserves to feel proud of where they work.
Check out the titles it is easy to support via PressPatron if you are able to.

The Cadwalladr talk is brilliant, eh. Let's hope there is a lot of media attention on masters Topham and Guerin before both the local body elections this year and the national ones next year.
