Editorial signature

Morning Report with Corin Dann and Ingrid Hipkiss and Checkpoint with Lisa Owen are the country's most-listened political news programs and routinely set the daily Parliamentary agenda. The broadcaster's Te Ao Māori desk and its Pacific service are charter obligations rather than commercial add-ons, and a 2023 sub-editing incident in which a junior staffer altered wire copy on Ukraine triggered a public independent review of editorial process.
