Media Critique: NZ Herald

by Katie Ruscoe, 19 January 2016

  "Inspired by yesterday's groundbreaking coverage of Max Key's break-up, I've used my impeccable In-Design skills to put together this Herald Digital Bingo Card! To play: simply blot out each one of these journalistic triumphs as you find them on The Herald website or Facebook page (works equally well with Stuff!). If you prefer to do your Herald reading drunk then you could probably also turn this into a drinking game - highly recommended for those looking to get truly lit. Suggestions welcome, enjoy!"

Quite a handy rubric to work from for our Manchester St front pages!

Morison and Straka / Madame and the Bastard

Madame Morrison, documentary for television profiling New Zealand artist Julia Morison, directed by Sonja de Friez

Madame & the Bastard do black was a series of five 30 second films transmitted 63 times between September 2 – November 30 2000 on TV One (south island), during which was simultaneously shown in the KIOSK (corner High Street and Manchester Street) between 16 - 30 October 2000.

"Advertising for Art & Industry 2000 and short film were combined in ‘do black’ by Madame & the Bastard, orchestrated and conducted by Julia Morison and Heather Straka. ‘do black’ was an intensive, surreal short film screened in five acts on TV One, with different acts programmed into 30 second advertising time slots."

"All People 20+ Years – seen by 93% of the population at least once. (372,000) 74% of population saw them at least four times or more (296,000). 31% saw them at least 10 times or more (124,000)"
