Justice

Broadcasting Act 1976

Before the Broadcasting Tribunal

In the matter of the Broadcasting Act 1976, and in the matter of a complaint by Douglas Willett Jane of Auckland, recording engineer:

Warrant Holder: Triple M Limited:
Chairman: B. H. Slane.
Member: Robert Boyd-Bell.
Co-opted Members: Diane Billing and J. A. Kelleher.

Decision No. 19/88
COM: 5/87

Decision

Dated the 7th day of June 1988,

This complaint arose from the broadcast on the Auckland private commercial radio station Triple M/Stereo FM on 23 January 1987 of a news item concerning the death of the Pennsylvania State Treasurer, Budd Dwyer, who shot himself during a news conference in the United States.

The Background:

On 25 January 1987 Mr Jane wrote to the Tribunal to lodge a formal complaint about the broadcast on Triple M/Stereo FM during the midday news on 23 January of an audio “drop” comprising a sound recording of Mr Dwyer shooting himself during a news conference in the United States.

The audio “drop” consisted of actually recording of the news conference covering the period during which Mr Dwyer shot himself and the subsequent confused reaction of those present.
