NZ Election Coverage


For the take-home exam you will need to discuss media coverage of either the New Zealand elections, or the US presidential election. The NZ election can take place no later than Nov 15, and some of the major news organisations have begun packaging their political news as "election coverage". You can find blogs, archived footage, political analysis, and other media coverage at the following sites (this list will be updated regularly):

One News
3 News
New Zealand Herald

Online political blogging will also be an important feature of the campaigns (we will be discussing blogs in a few weeks). Some of the more well known NZ political blogs are:
