Then, why the media has to have so poor quality? And it is not about presentation,it is the lack of vision of the big picture for the future of the Nation, or understanding of the real mission of the Media in a democratic society.

I never heard in NZ the concept that press is the “fourth power” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Separation_of_powers#The_press) probably because never has been under real threat. But the fact that NZ is one of the few countries in History that never had an interruption of its democratic system, should only reinforce the role of the Media as a channel for education and leadership for the country in the broadest sense. However, it is reduced to a mere entertainment, or gossip at every level (business is not an exception) sometimes really below average.

Hence the good quality of your magazine is a positive surprise.

Mark Ahn introduced me to Tim Collins a few months ago at the Koru Club. All of us had a good conversation while waiting for our planes around a number of topics related to global innovation, venture capital and strategic entrepreneurship and how the future of NZ will be strongly tied to these areas.

I’m extremely pleased to see a recent interview of Mark, which positively shows the big vision that the magazine is aiming for. However, I must point a criticism: it was unnecessary to have a “characterisation” of Mark as a “Rocket Man”…which put the article in the category of “needing a catchy title to be read”…while there are much more deep ideas that are worth follow from his comments.

Congratulations and keep up with the evolution.
