Around 6pm on Saturday night one of the Sky Sport channels was showing a feature on the young Black Ferns star Jorja Miller. We had visitors so the TV was on mute while this programme played. As an old TV hack I’m often intrigued to see who’s done the work like operated the camera or edited the pictures or directed the story so I often hang around to see names on the credits.
As it turned out I didn’t recognise the names of any of the obviously skilful new generation of television practitioners. But that’s an aside.
What did catch my eye was that this particular feature had been commissioned originally for NZR+, the new on-line outlet which New Zealand Rugby hopes will evolve into a commercial cash cow.
