Ratings
Ratings is a term with wide currency, used in activities as diverse as judgments about standards of hotel accommodation to judgments of the economic health of corporations or nations (such as the Standard & Poor's Financial Strength Ratings). In contemporary media, however, the term has more specific meanings, especially in respect of television, radio, and film, but there is also considerable ambiguity and confusion in its use and application

Pleasure, Excess and Self-Monitoring
This report describes the outcomes of extensive research (questionnaires, focus groups, drawings) on the media use of students aged between eight and 13 years (n=860) in the North and South Islands of New Zealand. The research replicates earlier child-centred research by the authors, but with a greater emphasis on newer media technology, such as cell phones. The various facets of the research, framed within theoretical explorations, produced deta…

Life after Hobbits
This article considers the state of the New Zealand TV and film industry, drawing upon the first comprehensive survey by Statistics New Zealand, and discussing a number of notable new productions. It also considers New Zealand film and television on Australian screens and concludes that, while they often dwell upon and magnify differences, such trans-Tasman cultural exchanges have yet to capture the similarities between the two countries
A Clever Little Country
Our editorial for this special issue of MIA is a contribution to what we hope will, in future, be a more lively and informed dialogue across both the New Zealand and Australian sides of the 'ditch
New Zealand as Middle Earth
The shift of the research gaze from First World concerns and research questions to the different imperatives of a small nation such as New Zealand enables scrutiny of many conventional assumptions made about globalizing processes, children's evolving public spaces, and commodified culture. New Zealand provides an invaluable site to explore the processes creating the postmodern cultural experiences of globalized popular communication. Children in …
Searching for quality television in New Zealand
After a decade or more of commercial imperatives dominating state-owned television in New Zealand, government policy is attempting to shift it back to public service or ‘civic’ objectives. As a result, debates about ‘quality’ have re-emerged, both in the public discourse and in the Charter which Television New Zealand will be expected to observe. This could be regarded as an echo of similar debates which occurred in British television in the earl…
Regulation - What Regulation? Cultural Diversity and Local Content in New Zealand Television
The radical restructuring of New Zealand broadcasting (television in particular), beginning in the late 1980s and accelerating during the 1990s, is probably without peer in the rest of the world. This article backgrounds the origins of such changes, and traces the consequences (both positive and negative) which shaped, and continue to shape, the role and imperatives of television in New Zealand. But the discussion also takes account of more loomi…
