‘Scant’ news of U.N. talks
News- coverage of the recent United Nations Qrfhference on Trade and Development in Manila has been criticised by Trade Aid (New Zealand). The society says that apart from a “brief reference” to the opening address of the Associate Minister of Finance (Mr Templeton) there was little evidence of reporting of other meetings and the views of other delegates. “New Zealanders should be interested in this meeting, if not for humanitarian reasons of striving for justice in the international trading arena then at the very least for reasons of enlightened self interest,” said Trade Aid’s assistant manager (Mr Kevin O’Connor). He said that decisions at the conterence would affect New Zealand’s position as a producer and it was crucial that New Zealnders were btter informed of this through the news media. [Reports in “The Press" dealing with the U.N.C.T.A.D. conference amounted to 321 cm. Coverage of proceedings of the conference appeared in “The Press" from May 8 to June 6.]
