EXTENDED BODY:
The BBC's North America Technology correspondent Dave Lee has a grandstand view of the hot bed of innovation that is Silicon Valley.
But he says it's not all its cracked up to be.
"A review of Silicon Valley from the outside, is one of relentless optimism - that very American [idea] everything is possible, you know the skies the limit.
"But actually when you talk to the people who are working hard every day, it's no coincidence that success happens here."
He was lucky enough to have a a ride in one of Google's driverless cars, which he describes as "brilliant, but boring."
"It plays by the rules so much, you find yourself in the backseat thing 'oh get on with it.'"
He also tells Colin Peacock about how virtual reality is terrifying - dangerous, even.

Naomi Arnold is a Nelson-based freelance writer. At Featured.org.nz she collates outstanding feature articles from New Zealand and around the world and sends them out in a handy weekly email. We asked her to pick her favourite long reads for a long weekend by local journalists.
Here are Naomi’s picks:
Charlie Anderson, Lost in the long white cloud: the first true New Zealand feature in to fully use a multi-media format and which could reasonably be called a 'digital longform piece'.
Duncan Greive: Lorde, for Metro. This was such a great get. As well as the writing and the getting of it, he also sold it to Faster/Louder, an Australian publication which produced a great digital rendering of it.
Alistair Bone: Turangi tourist attack, Cracking it on welfare in Huntly, Storm Clouds over Kawhia. Alistair was the Waikato Times’ 'colour writer'. He has reported stories with flair where others would have done a boring old report.
Steve Braunias: Impossible to choose one. The Killings at Stilwell Rd, On my Way to the Border, Trouble in Mosgiel are just some of my favourites. He really is a godfather of good feature writing in New Zealand.
Beck Eleven: A life in beds, An unfortunate Chch son, the insidious creep of abuse. Beck has such a knack for spotting the humanity in people.
Anna Pearson is a former Press reporter who is freelancing now. As well as being a good feature writer she takes her own award-winning photographs and creates her own multimedia pieces - including a cooperative effort on a West Coast skateboarder, an audio slideshow for the BBC about a photographer and a plain old audio piece too for Monocle.

The Shape of the Media
BODY:
A panel discussion about the media now and in the future.
EXTENDED BODY:
Jim Mora anchors a panel discussion with Fran O’Sullivan from the NZ Herald, Duncan Greive from The Spinoff, and Associate Professor Darrin Hodgetts from Massey University and international expert Professor Graeme Turner to discuss the the media.
During the conversation, which includes an opening statement from Prof Turner, they tackle a whole range of questions. In an era when traditional media is changing rapidly, what’s the future for quality journalism? What alternatives can online media offer audiences? How is it paid for? What’s the effect of social media and celebrity culture? What are the implications for New Zealanders who can now get access to instant information wherever they are?
The wide-ranging talk takes in developments at the NZ Herald and NZME, as well as the burgeoning website devoted to quality local writing, The Spinoff. The relationship between the exercise of power and the conduct of the media is explored, along with the effects of celebrity culture. Debate is brisk at times, but there is also a considerable amount of agreement about the trends which have developed so far in a rapidly-changing media landscape.
This panel discussion was recorded in front of an audience at the Auckland Art Gallery on 23 October 2015, and staged in association with Massey University.

After three months Peter Taylor managed to secure an interview with Edward Snowden, the US national security whistle blower. He was eventually told to send an SMS with the number of his Moscow hotel room and wait for a knock on the door. The knock, to his relief, came on time. Snowden was offered asylum in Russia two years ago. He says he has been in negotiation with the American authorities and is prepared to go to jail, but expresses no regret for revealing to journalists details of extensive internet and phone surveillance by American intelligence and their British counterparts. He denies that he is a traitor and asks who has caused more damage – himself or those conducting what he says were unlawful programs. The US Justice Department has filed criminal charges against Snowden, accusing him of espionage and theft of government property.

Smart Talk at the Auckland Museum: The Treaty of Waitangi
BODY:
A panel discussion from the Auckland Museum chaired by the famous comedian Te Radar features the social entrepreneur Kiritapu Allan, Professor Paul Spoonley from Massey University, the fibre artist Suzanne Tamaki, and Leilani Tamu, a poet, social commentator and Pacific historian. Together they are exploring fresh perspectives on the Treaty of Waitangi in a session recorded in March 2015.

Duration: 40'24"
=SHOW NOTES=
Immigrants remain unintegrated into the New Zealand character.
How well the Treaty of Waitangi is understood depends on which part of the New Zealand population you’re talking about, according to Massey University’s Prof Paul Spoonley. The degree to which the immigrant communities feel a sense of connection to or understanding of biculturalism, and the role of the Treaty, is to Spoonley an open question.
When he looks around at immigrant-receiving countries, the thing that strikes him is that “they work very hard to make sure that those arriving are loyal citizens.” By contrast, in New Zealand he feels that we don’t make anything like the same effort.
“When you go to Australia” he says, “there’s a lot of investment in making them an Australian. And we don’t do that. Being a permanent resident gives you all the rights of a citizen. In fact we’re the only country in the world where a non-citizen can vote.”
And this lack of nationalistic fervor comes through in hour half-hearted use of the national flag. Speaking in a panel discussion about the Treaty of Waitangi hosted by the Auckland Museum, Spoonley comments “I don’t know whether the museum flies a flag. But when you go round there aren’t many flags. If we were in Australia we would have the flag behind this panel as a form of exclusive nationalism.”

In recent decades comics, artists and writers have stretched the boundaries of what we typically thought of as 'Comics'. Familiar scripts about super-heroes were joined on bookshelves by full-length autobiographical works that came to be called graphic novels. Often rejected by the mainstream comics industry, comics creators wanting to do new things started their own companies or went underground and by the 1990's the alternatives comics industry was in full swing and in the digital age they have flourished (RNZ)
