Radio New Zealand Investigates Pro-Russia Editing of Ukraine Reports

A digital reporter at Radio New Zealand (RNZ) has been accused of inserting "pro-Kremlin garbage" into news stories about Russia and Ukraine published on the broadcaster's website. RNZ's CEO, Paul Thompson, has apologized and said that around 250 stories have been forensically checked for Russian propaganda since they became aware of the issue on Friday, with 16 requiring corrections and editor's notes. The accused journalist has been placed on leave, and thousands more articles will need to be reviewed for problems. The majority of the altered stories were based on reports from the Reuters news agency.
