Order Description
Task: Critically Analyse the question

Question: Is the media still reporting on conflict or has there been a change in emphasis on how employment relations matters are reported?

Points you should consider:

When I mean ‘current’ that is 2015 and the early part of 2016.

What sort of issues do the media report on? These could be strikes, health and safety, exploitation of migrant workers, skill shortages, amendments to the Employment Relations Act , living wage etc.

It is not how many issues you have found it is how are they being reported.

I have provided a link for the NZ media articles and this can be found on the left hand side of the Stream site under Newztext Plus

I am only interested in articles from the printed media.

Note

There is a set of readings for this assignment. These are ones that Rasmussen mentions in the media section in Chapter One of the textbook. You need to read these as they give you some context how the media had reported on Union/Employer matters. these can be found on the front page of Stream.
