Worry Week this week is about ethical journalism and one of those hot phrases you’d be fortunate to come across if ever took a paper in news media is agenda setting. Agenda Setting is essentially a news agency setting up a framework for what stories we cover and what is outside of scope. At Bfm we have an agenda setting and that is why you don’t hear about the Kardasian and live up to date scores of the Ashes series. Agenda setting has been blamed for bias media with prime examples being in America such FOX News with agenda favouring Republicans whilst others outlets such as The Huffington Post favouring Democrats but I wanted to have a yarn about agenda setting in our own backyard. So I did just that, I had a yarn that spiraled out of topic with AUT’s senior lecturer Greg Treadwell, firstly asking does New Zealand have a problem with bias media.
This week on the show we welcome a new member of the Swap Meet crew - Aotearoa beat digging MVP and Tairāwhiti's finest: Campbell Ngata. He has long been one of our favourite DJ anywhere, and he begins his time with us with three hours of crucial vinyl selections traversing Jazz, Modern Soul, Disco, Boogie, Reggae and all points on the map inbetween. Welcome sir! Drop him a follow over on Instagram, his handle is "campbellngata". @soul_scourer @kirkjames13
Listen in to find out about the intricacies of the debate surrounding how we best manage weeds and vegetation in our urban setting. We look into Tāmaki Makaurau's past, present and whether the upcoming council decision will set us on a road sprayed by glyphosates, thermally managed or kept tidy by an altogether different method.
Tairāwhiti in your area, bringing you what you need at the Swap Meet today! Helmed by Campbell Ngata who always brings the rare, raw and ridiculously funky, and accompanied by Cassawarrior who this week shifts his focus to the Ethiopian crates - expect the vibes to be lumpy and mesmerising, and the vocals to be otherworldly, and you left wanting more. Press the button!
