ABOUT
The then newly resigned producer of the N.Z.B.C.'s television programme Compass examines television broadcasting in New Zealand.
Gordon Bick resigned because he was certain that only government pressure, indirectly applied, prevented the televising of a Compass programme on the conversion to decimal currency. In an election year the Government wanted to avoid a programme that might suggest an increase in prices for consumer goods. While Parliamentary and newspaper debate raged-Gordon Bick, jobless, looked back on his period with the N.Z.B.C. and considered just how timorously the Corporation had used its so-called independence.
Gordon Bick has taken a long, cool but concerned look at television and broadcasting in New Zealand.
Includes monochrome images.
