Two people will be going through the process at one time so please ask the Newsgathering
Editor before submitting your work for assessment. However, it is always a good idea to
practice!
Digital voicing requirements differ to broadcast, where a more casual and less practiced
delivery is key. Anyone wishing to voice for digital platforms must gain clearance on at least
the te reo portion of this process and final sign-off from the GM, Digital News and Content.
Applicant for clearance should work with a senior member of staff to ensure the work is
ready for assessment. The mentor/senior team member can set the live scenarios.
When ready for assessment, save your portfolio in the server as CLEARANCE_YOUR
NAME_FINAL_DATE and then notify the Kaiurungi Māori Editor, Content Editor or
Newsgathering Editor it is ready to be assessed. 1
