WELLINGTON: New Zealand's state broadcaster has launched an investigation after stories about the invasion of Ukraine were edited to reflect what it called"a pro-Russian view".
Radio New Zealand has corrected at least two stories originally written by Reuters news agency, which it said had been"edited inappropriately" when it re-published them online. One story was changed to include a reference to Ukraine's"pro-Western government" suppressing ethnic Russians, while another described the 2014 Maidan revolution that toppled pro-Moscow president Viktor Yanukovych as a"coup".
"RNZ is investigating how a story on the Ukraine conflict on its website was changed to reflect a pro-Russian view," the broadcaster said in a news bulletin on Friday evening after the first story was discovered. "The version published by RNZ included a false account of the events. The story has since been corrected.""RNZ is concerned and takes this matter extremely seriously," it said in a statement.The broadcaster said an employee had been placed on leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
