From: Tobias Corbett
Dear NZ On Air,
I am writing to you to request the following information:
1) Are reporters employed under the Local Democracy Reporting scheme encouraged in any way to ensure that reporting on community board issues and meetings is included in their reporting? If so, how?
2) Is NZ on Air aware of any proposals to improve local democracy reporting, specifically any proposals that could improve reporting on small entities like community boards?
Yours faithfully,
Tobias Corbett

Morning Tobias,
I understand you had a chat with David Reid, the head of LDR, on Friday.
Am I able to close this OIA request, or is there further information you
need?
You should have heard from NZ on Air but it’s not something they have any
control over.
Regards
Andrew
