    "BPM had its origins in two public campaigns that revealed widespread concern about media in Aotearoa ... the successful campaign in 2010 opposing the mooted commercialisation of RNZ; and the unsuccessful campaign to save TVNZ 7, which was an ad-free TV channel broadcasting from 2008 to 2012."

    Hard to believe now, but Key's NatACT government seriously proposed commercialising RNZ. Presumably with the long term goal of hocking it off to the highest bidder.

    I hadn't heard of the Public Media Alliance before I randomly saw the announcement about BPM joining (linked in previous post) via web search serendipity.

    Their Public Spaces Incubator sounds amazing!

    "Over a hundred prototypes have been designed by the team at the Public Spaces Incubator. Of these, about a dozen have been coded, which are now being tested in public and private betas on PSM platforms in Europe and Canada."

    I wonder if the Public Spaces Incubator is experimenting with publishing over social web protocols yet? If not, I reckon they have as much for them to lean from fediverse devs as vice-versa. From what I read on the PMA website, the Public Spaces folks are doing some amazing experiments with using different kinds of comment interfaces to bring out more constructive conversations.
