Friday is the day of action for ‘Save Campbell Live’.
Nationwide organiser, Jo Bond, instigated the day of action across a few
cities in New Zealand because she believes that good quality
investigative journalism is important for a well-functioning democracy.
Campbell Live has proven itself to be excellent at holding people and
organisations accountable for their actions.
Rallies in Wellington, Christchurch and Dunedin are being organised and
led by Jo. She is working closely with the Auckland rally that is being
organised by Ruth Crichton. Jo says, “I hope that everyone reading this
will either come along to a local rally, show their support online
and/or watch Campbell Live at 7pm every weeknight on TV3”.
Details of the rallies are as follows:
Auckland: Meet at the corner of Symonds Street and Karangahape Road at
11:30am. There will be a march to the TV3 office at 3 Flower Street to
present the Save Campbell Live petitions that were organised by Action
Station and Scoop.
Wellington: Meet at Te Aro Park at 4:30pm. There will be a march to the
TV3 office at 72-74 Abel Smith Street, a march back, and then a rally
with prominent speakers. The theme of this protest is “Campbell lights
up our screens!” Please wear bright colours, bring your brightest
umbrella and a small torch.
Christchurch: Meet at 455 Hagley Avenue, Hagley Park at 12pm. There will
be a march to the TV3 office at 335 Lincoln Road, a march back, then a
rally with prominent speakers. The theme of this protest is “Thank you
John Campbell.”
Dunedin: Meet at the lower Octagon at 4:30pm. There will be no march,
but a rally with prominent speakers. The theme of this protest is
“Campbell lights up our screens!” Please wear bright / fluorescent
colours, bring your brightest umbrella and a small torch.
There is also a 24 hour virtual protest on Facebook:
