Radio New Zealand under fire for pro-Kremlin editing of Ukraine war stories.

New Zealand's public radio station, Radio New Zealand (RNZ), has apologized for publishing "pro-Kremlin garbage" on its website after more than a dozen wire stories on the Ukraine war were found to have been altered. Most of the stories were written by Reuters and were changed at RNZ to include Russian propaganda. RNZ has placed a digital journalist on leave pending the result of an employment investigation and is commissioning an external review of the organization's editing processes. RNZ is republishing the stories with corrections and editor's notes.
