Kia ora,

Please treat this as a request for official information under the Official Information Act 1982.

I request information relating to the “sense of inclusion” benefit and associated KPI referenced in the Strengthening Public Media business case (for example, Table 2: Analysis of potential benefits).

Specifically, I request copies of any documents held by Manatū Taonga that:

1) Define or describe the “sense of inclusion” KPI, including how “inclusion” is conceptualised for public media policy purposes;

2) Set out any measurement framework, methodology, or guidance used to assess the “sense of inclusion” KPI (including any survey questions/instruments, indicators, or proxy measures);

3) Describe which population groups, demographics, or audience segments are included in the measurement and/or analysis of “sense of inclusion” (for example ethnicity, disability, age, region, or other categories); and

4) Explain how “sense of inclusion” results are intended to be interpreted, monitored, or reported for public media policy purposes.

This request is limited to existing policy, measurement, or evaluation material used for the KPI, and does not seek a review of media content, websites, social media content, or funded programmes.

If any of the requested information is publicly available, please provide a link.

Ngā mihi,
Elspeth Baker-Vevers
