Mediawatch for 2 July 2023

From Mediawatch, 9:08 am on 2 July 2023

This week Mediawatch looks at a new survey which found that the arts and culture gets only a half of the coverage that our media devote to sports. A leading local critic tells Mediawatch how to improve that - and the quality of arts criticism.  

Mediawatch also looks at a watchdog's ruling on broadcasts that downplayed the danger of Cyclone Gabrielle earlier this year.
