In the first-ever episode of RCR360 – Unplugged, Maree Buscke and Alastair Harding dive into the highlights from three standout episodes of RCR360, reflecting on themes of democracy, media trust, and digital manipulation. With input from numerous webinar members, they explore how globalism and censorship have eroded free speech, how media relationships with politicians are blurring crucial lines, and how a concerning number of Kiwis now favour strong, unelected leadership . The duo also take aim at lazy journalism, media bias, and the silencing of dissent, using examples like the contrasting coverage of Hamish Campbell MP and the “BussyGate” saga. They champion the rise of alternative platforms, encouraging viewers to share RCR content widely and submit their own local stories – because now, more than ever, informed voices matter.
