About MD

Media Darlings began as a group blog for up-and-coming journalists but is now basically a soapbox for me, Rory MacKinnon. I’m a political reporter from New Zealand now based in the UK with the Morning Star.

I’ve written for Scoop, Werewolf, The New Zealand Education Review, The Wairarapa Times-Age, the New Zealand Press Association and a bunch of student magazines. I’ve also appeared as a media commentator on Radio New Zealand’s MediaWatch, Radio Active’s Scoop Report and 95bfm’s Counterclockwise. Death threats and/or offers of employment accepted here.

Anyway, you can more or less stop reading now unless you want the boring legal bits.
