Richard Harman

Veteran newsman Richard Harman began his career at Auckland University student mag Craccum. As a long-time political reporter for TVNZ, he reported on the Rainbow Warrior bombing and the passing of the baton from Muldoon to Lange — also the subject of his award-winning documentary Five Days in July. In 1999 Harman founded company Front Page, where he launched current affairs shows Agenda and The Nation. 

Most people who turned up for an interview on The Nation had gone through a session of media training before they came in — a dress rehearsal. That made it much more challenging for the interviewer. Richard Harman in The Listener, 22 February 2014
