Controversy Surrounds Pro-Russia Editing of Ukraine Reports by New Zealand's National Broadcaster.
TL;DR
An employee at Radio New Zealand (RNZ) has been placed on leave amid an investigation into how wire service news reports on the Ukraine war were rewritten to insert a pro-Russia slant. RNZ's chief executive described the edits as "pro-Kremlin garbage". About 250 articles have been reviewed, and 16 that had been "inappropriately edited" have been corrected. RNZ has announced an external review of its processes for the editing of online stories.
