Our strategy
Life and Limb, Stuff Circuit
We support Specialist Current Affairs as it is a cornerstone of democracy, and is highly relevant to the public media principles on which the NZ Media Fund is grounded.
We express these principles as to enrich NZ cultural experience, to improve diversity of media content accessible to all, to strengthen community life, and to promote informed debate.
The type of content supported in this space by NZ On Air includes political debate, long-form investigative journalism and interactive projects.
What we fund
