As some of you may know I am a member of the New Zealand Food Writer’s Guild. This is a body of people from all aspects of food interests. Writers, Journalists, authors, photographers, growers and corporate members.
We were given an opportunity to talk about our experiences, after an article was published in The Spin Off in June about “The whiteness in the New Zealand Food Media”. AS a very small group of non-white members we all had our say, which was published in our monthly newsletter The Digest.
It was then picked up again by The Spin Off and then Radio Zealand.
here is a link to both the article and my chat to Wallace Chapman on The Panel on RNZ
