A story about one of our Department’s projects, Census at School will air during Afternoons with Jim Mora on Radio New Zealand National (101FM) today, Monday 22 July at 3.30pm, and a slightly longer version again during Our Changing World on Thursday 25 July. Professor Chris Wild and Rachel Cunliffe are among those talked to.
I’m part of a panel discussion on Media7 tonight (TVNZ7, 9:05pm) on the future of public broadcasting.
We discuss an erroneous weekly cumulative audience statistic which originated from the then broadcasting Minister, Jonathan Coleman: why you just can’t take the monthly cumulative audience and divide by four to get the weekly cumulative audience.
Thomas Lumley was interviewed at length on the most recent edition of Mediawatch (Radio New Zealand, Sundays 9.05am) talking about the “TV kills you” post (he was also asked about many of the other things that annoy statisticians about the media).
Listen from 21.40 on.
