New Zealand journalism that holds power to account

New Zealand has a long and rich tradition of journalism that holds power to account, and that goes beyond allegation and denial to reveal hidden truths. That journalism also bears witness and investigates ideas, exposes systemic problems and insists on government action, and goes beyond allegation and denial to get to the truth of issues. This compelling anthology of pieces, dating from the war in the Waikato to recent investigations, features the work of some of this country's finest investigative journalists, from Robyn Hyde and Pat Booth to Sandra Coney and Phillida Bunkle, Mike White, Jon Stephenson, Nicky Hager and Phil Kitchin.

Dr James Hollings is Head of Journalism at Massey University, Wellington.
