Does that make John Campbell Omar? (Helps to have seen last night's Campbell Live )
Good point. Campbell is getting a bit cut throat on this:)

The Bishop on Close-Up with his sidekick, Lewis.
Lewis is to Tamaki what Stringer Bell is to Avon Barksdale.
(Have just belatedly finished Season One of The Wire)

Going back to the original post: I have just seen the relevant Media 7, found it interesting but wanted more:)

I know it might be the right thing to do to avoid celebrity gossip but the Alison Mau case had much of interest.
Hell, she works with the bigoted Paul Henry and she has often been quoted in the press expressing love and admiration for Simon Dallow. I remember how she used to refer to him proudly as "my husband".
It is interesting that she has entered a lesbian relationship - if in fact she has. It is also interesting how Breakfast has toyed with this since ...
She hasn't done anything to deserve paparazzi. But my argument is that it IS interesting.
OTOH I was outraged decades ago when The Truth outed Marilyn Waring. They were trying to undermine her but is Alison Mau being undermined?

Geoff, as a Media Studies expert, what do you think of the Facebook phenomenon of Save Radio NZ. 14,000 fans now and a protest outside parliament planned for tomorrow. People will have little radios tuned into RNZ. (Concert FM is tucked up in the whole surge of public outrage about Nat Rad)

And now, what's going to happen to us without barbarians?
They were, those people, a kind of solution.Great poem Craig (Have just read the Coetzee novel of same title). But this is different. The gummint's going to take away my radio stations! Waaaaaaaa.
What would YOU start or join a Facebook page to save??????
(Just a hint that they might take them away is enough to make people of my vintage panic. Look at what they did to TVNZ! And The Listener...Sob.)

Facebook's Save Radio NZ has 12, 450 fans now - young and old, male and female. They're ready to fight 'em in the streets.

Good editorial. The Nats can look tough and decisive by bullying RNZ but are too scared to make major cuts elsewhere.
-
So, I challenge the notion that Concert FM remains a public good on the basis that its content is too narrowly focused.
I see what you mean. But when I looked at the below I thought there was a bit of a mix.

It needs to be better, as people have said, not threatened.

"High culture" (with negative connotations) ... certain music "privileged" over other music
Whence come these ideas? I was educated in the 50s and 60s and have not quite caught up with the more recent cultural concepts.
