Dear John

I refer to your request below.

Aside from our own employees and contractors, TVNZ does not pay people to feature in or provide information for news stories.

Yours sincerely

Subject: Official Information request - Paying for stories

Dear Television New Zealand Limited,

I want to know about whether or not TVNZ pays people to either directly feature in news and current affairs programmes, such as in a published interview, or to provide information that helped make a story at any time over the past five years.

I'd like to know how much the person was paid, when, and what the story was.

I would also like to know who the person was - but I understand if this might need to be redacted.

Yours faithfully,

John Sims
