Cameron Bennett The New Zealand Wars

After decades as one of the country's best-known journalists, Cameron Bennett took on a unique new challenge: to educate the nation on the New Zealand Wars and help tell Māori stories. A legendary figure in New Zealand journalism across several decades, Cameron Bennett is revered for his ability to tell a compelling story, his courage to report from some of the world's most dangerous places, and his broadcasting brilliance. But his most recent work has presented a unique challenge. As well as helping tell the stories that matter to Māori for a Māori audience on Te Ao with Moana, Cameron has played a key role in producing an award-winning documentary series about the New Zealand Wars. In this kōrero with broadcaster and media chaplain Rev Frank Ritchie, Cameron talks about being a Pākehā journalist at a Māori news organisation, regales us with tales of reporting from warzones, and lifts the lid on Paul Holmes' infamous interview with Dennis Conner.
