Abstract

'NAMES make news' is a mantra drummed into the head of every young reporter and heaven help those who can’t identify a vital quote or face. It is a lesson that veteran journalist and educator Jim Tucker never forgot. The evidence of that lies in the pages of Flair and Loathing on the Front Page, the first part of his memoir spanning a career that began in Taranaki in 1965 and which has gone full circle. Tucker is a regular columnist on the Taranaki Daily News after serving as a metropolitan newspaper reporter and editor then becoming one of New Zealand’s foremost journalism trainers.

期刊介绍:
While one objective of Pacific Journalism Review is research into Pacific journalism theory and practice, the journal has also expanding its interest into new areas of research and inquiry that reflect the broader impact of contemporary media practice and education. A particular focus is on the cultural politics of the media, including the following issues: new media and social movements, indigenous cultures in the age of globalisation, the politics of tourism and development, the role of the media and the formation of national identity and the cultural influence of New Zealand as a branch of the global economy within the Pacific region. It also has a special interest in climate change, environmental and development studies in the media and communication and vernacular media in the region.
