Dear Anissa,
GOVERNOR'S VISIT TO NEW ZEALAND: MEDIA COVERAGE
1.
I attach a set of press clippings for the Governor of Hong Kong's visit to New Zealand. As you will see, they are disappointing. Other than good pieces in the 'New Zealand Herald' and 'Sunday Star' based on the Governor's interviews with Tony Verdon and Colin James respectively, only 'The Dominion' covered his visit. And though Patick Smellie filed a story following his interview of the Governor, the 'Press' chose not to run it. We will take this up with them and bear it in mind for the future.
2. I understand from John Campbell of TV3 News that they did not show the Governor's interview with Leighton Smith on Friday. They propose to use it as part of a wider feature on Asian investment in New Zealand and opportunities in Asian markets for New Zealand businessmen to be shown the week after next. send you a copy once it appears.
Yours sincerely
Tim
T Torlot
I will
