22/03/2021: RACISM IN THE MEDIA
The Northland Age has refused to publish my column on racism in the media. Four hours after I submitted it, Acting Editor Rachel Ward emailed as follows: "Hi Anahera, Unfortunately, after The Age published the Bassett column and the reply letter, the ongoing feedback from both sides has meant we have decided not to run any further correspondence on the matter. I would have alerted you sooner but wasn't sure if you would be writing about it again this week. Happy to discuss further if you wish. Peter is back on deck next week."
