Radio New Zealand has corrected 16 stories on its website dating back to April 2022 because of what it termed “inappropriate editing” of Ukraine war stories
Radio New Zealand , which is government-funded but has editorial independence, had by Sunday corrected 16 stories on its website dating back to April 2022 because of what it termed “inappropriate editing.” The corrections RNZ added to the stories indicated the editing had changed the original stories to present pro-Russian interpretations of some events in Ukraine as fact. Fourteen of the stories had been supplied by Reuters and one came from Britain’s BBC, the links to the stories show.
On Saturday RNZ chief executive Paul Thompson announced an external review of RNZ’s editing processes. The outcome of the review will be made public. The issue became public after changes were made to a June 8 Reuters story about the use of the word “war” in Russia. The story was edited on RNZ’s website to read that in 2014 “a pro-Russian elected government was toppled during Ukraine’s violent Maidan colour revolution.
