An overview of the New Zealand media

Peter Thompson gives a good overview of the New Zealand media in his article, New Zealand Media in the New Millennium - a political-economic overview, Communication journal of New Zealand, June 2002.


It's good background (although written in an academic style) for anyone working with the New Zealand media.
