A former long-time head of the journalism course at Canterbury University, Brian Priestley has also been a noted media critic. The ex British paratrooper and Times journalist arrived down under in 1974, and soon began 12 years of astutely analysing news coverage on weekly TV show News Stand, later renamed Fourth Estate. Also a novelist, Priestley contributed a weekly column to The Christchurch Star for over a decade.
In the end, you know, it all depends on you. If the programme’s no good, switch off. If television and radio give you rotten local news, read your local paper. If the article or writer is second rate, complain.
– Brian Priestley in 1988, on the final episode of Fourth Estate
