The PressPatron Post
Great Kiwi journalism, delivered weekly

-- Issue Four: 27 September 2019 --


Each week we share impactful stories from across our community of New Zealand media sites. These articles have been selected by analysing the types of journalism that matter most to Kiwi readers.

In this week's edition: resources to evaluate your local election candidates, a reflection on
Ihumātao, interesting insights from the latest census data, diversity concerns in mental health provision, and climate change coverage.

Below you will find some of the best investigations, analysis and opinion pieces that have resonated with local supporters of independent media. Let me know if you have any suggestions or feedback about our newsletter.

Ihumātao feels like how I wish Auckland felt - E-Tangata

"I can't think of a time I've been in such a mixed group. There is a vibe of considerateness, gentleness. People are careful with the kids, and with each other. If you make eye contact, people say 'Kia ora', even if you don't say it first."

The most buzzy data points from the just-released Census

"This is always a monumentally special day. For the next five years, these numbers will be the context for all sorts of debates, discussions and policies... they tell us an enormous amount of information about ourselves."

Fossil fuels are an existential threat. Stop messing around and just ban them

History tells us that one of the first steps on the road to eliminating something is to ban it. This is the story of CFCs, which we banned through the Montreal Protocol in 1987. It is what happened with landmines and cluster bombs – a process that is ongoing. It’s also what happened with smoking in public places, you ban it and then you eliminate it.

Diversity must be a focus for mental health

As part of a survey on mental health, members of the rainbow community urged mental health professionals to “make the first move to show you are safe, so we don’t have to guess or gamble.”

How much of climate change is natural? How much is man-made?

"Climate denialists continue to receive prominence in some media which can lead people into thinking that man-made climate change is still in question. So it’s worth going back over the science to remind ourselves just how much has already been established."
